The Chicago Desi Youth Rising Summer Leadership Retreat is a 3-day retreat that will engage youth in experiential, hands-on, and interactive workshops that aim to:
- Connect their personal identities as South Asian youth to social movements
- Highlight how systems of oppression shape our world and individual experiences
- Foster a sense of belonging and solidarity across intersectional identities
- Provide mentorship
- Build the technical knowledge and skills needed to create social change, such as critical thinking, communication, leadership, advocacy, and community organizing
- Set them up for action
We welcome adoptees, desis of mixed heritage, any immigration status, all LGBTQTSIS youth, and residents of Chicago and Chicagoland suburbs.
