OVERVIEW

1. Project Background and Description
SFVCCA is a not-for-profit community group with objectives to provide education, services, and programs to its
members with emphasis on facilitating awareness and appreciation of Chinese culture. Members of the association (Note: CACAYC)
recently received scholarships from the Roland Reagan Presidential Library to conduct a program that may benefit
the community. This program is to benefit not only the Chinese American community but also the community as a
whole. SFVCCA members requested that its Board of Directors and Officers to recommend one project that may
meet the scholarship requirement.


After careful consideration, SFVCCA recommends that this project is to establish a youth community group under
the advisory of SFVCCA Board to assist the efforts of SFVCCA in achieving its objectives. Project members should
establish, recruit, and promote this organization as well as become the first members.
One of the primary reasons for this proposal is that a youth community organization may create long term and
continuing benefits to the community just as SFVCCA has successfully been doing so for many decades. This youth
organization will carry the missions and objectives of SFVCCA and not only to bring awareness of Chinese culture
but also allowing youth opportunities to learn and participate in leadership roles and team work. Youth will learn
about Chinese culture and community roles while enjoying a sense of belonging via fun activities and events.

2. Project Scope
Project scope is to establish a youth community group as a subsidiary organization of SFVCCA. This new
organization should create its own set of bylaws and objectives with primary goals in tuned with those of SFVCCA.

Hello All,

My name is Trevor Trinh, president of the CACAYC. We’ve read your proposition to form a youth group for the SFVCCA and we are excited to help you reach that goal!

For the actual activities of the youth group, in line with your vision, we would like to create a fun and productive environment for the youth members to learn about Chinese culture. In order to reach this goal, we hope to incorporate different activities that will build strong bonds between members while simultaneously strengthening understanding about Chinese culture. This newly formed youth group will also focus on projects related to spreading and teaching different elements of Chinese culture to our home - The San Fernando Valley. We already have a few ideas in place for meeting location, activities, and bylaws; however, we need some help.

To make any of this possible, we need cooperation from the SFVCCA.

We ask that the SFVCCA designates an adult affiliated with the SFVCCA to help supervise future meetings hosted by the youth group. This is a large but very necessary investment of time for the success of the youth group. This adult would facilitate good communication between the youth group and the rest of the SFVCCA.

Possibly more important than the advisor, a youth group needs members! To have the first pioneering members, we also ask that the SFVCCA selects students from its members who are passionate and capable of being a part of the youth group. Please provide us with a list of their contact information (name,email, phone number, parent name, parent email)  in order to work in a joint effort to bring this group to life.

Only after we have these guarantees can we begin our work.

Our vision is to have the youth group at the SFVCCA as a place for fun, friendship, bonding, and learning. We’ve envisioned the potential of a cultural learning center and we know how to get there. The CACAYC will focus its efforts on internships, community service, etc and shifting our cultural projects to the SFVCCA. As we work together, we hope that the people of both programs develop deep friendships with each other that carry far into life. We fully believe in “Work hard, play hard” and hope the SFVCCAYC and CACAYC can be the epicenter of thus in our valley.

We look forward to working with and co founding the new youth group for the SFVCCA. Please find from your organization a suitable adult and founding member and we will take it from there. You can count on our team, thank you for your time!

If there are any questions or comments, please send them our way and we will try our best to respond as soon as possible.

Best Wishes,Trevor Trinh
