We can’t describe how incredible it felt to host our first in-person camp since the start of the pandemic. We’re grateful to everyone at the College of Southern Nevada (CSN) for their kindness and hospitality in hosting us on Saturday, April 23 in Las Vegas. Building with youth and community leaders in last weekend/yesterday inspires us to continue to advance the liberation and well-being of Black and Brown communities by elevating the next generation of change leaders.

Our day was filled with joy, learning, imagination, fun and community-building. We shared a lot of laughs and built solidarity while learning about local histories, our legal rights, mental and holistic health, education, finance, tech, and the power of art to create the world we want. We can’t wait to stay in touch with this powerful group of young people!

Thanks to our co-founders, Colin & Nessa, and the entire KYRC team! Extra special thanks to our brilliant presenters at KYRC Las Vegas: Claytee White (history), Nicole Martin, Iman McAllister, Céline Aka, Anthony Johnson (legal), Brandon BMIKE Odums, Anne-Marie Boseman, Carter Maberry (art), Dr. Milo Dodson (mental health), Kevin Butler, Perry Irving, James Green (tech), Jasmine Simone (health), Caleb Dawkins (finance), and Sean Tory (education)!
