The Represent 2 Witness Summer Youth Leadership Institute is a 15-day residential program rooted in Asian Pacific Islander culture and consciousness.

Throughout the two weeks, participants engage in community study at the Pacific School of Religion and local Bay Area communities and reside in UC Berkeley residence halls.

 

Cost: $150 Registration Fee. We encourage your church to support you by covering this fee. A fee waiver is available to all with financial hardship.

Each participant selected will receive a full scholarship ($2,000) which covers room, board, program activities, and transportation to and from Berkeley, CA (including train and plane tickets when necessary).

"R2W opened my eyes – seeing the Projects, the Gay Pride Parade, and the City of Refuge.

I lived in San Francisco all my life and I had never been to the Gay Pride Parade, City of Refuge, or the Projects."

Jeremy H., R2W 2007

"Before coming to the program, I was apathetic and wasn’t sure where I was at. I knew that at some level, I was trying to help out my community.

I never thought I’d be in a program that would shake me and shake my ideas and my own beliefs and everything into a state of complete reflection. This program gave me a new sense of how to be really open – it really got me."

- Luis R., R2W 2007
