May Newsletter

Thank you everyone who encouraged, shared, and made donations to our Give In May Campaign in celebration of AAPI month. We were able to raise about $16,300 for LHTP programs and services!!! We have been wrapping up some of our final events for the school year before our high school students go into finals. LHTP took our kids, tutors, and families to the annual Kite Festival at the Historic State Park field trip. It was a fun day at the park for flying kites, lunch, enjoying the outdoors, and games with prizes.

Our “Increase the Peace” Committee & Support Team hosted their 5th annual GreenSpace Challenge event at Lincoln Park. We had a good turn out from our JYC & YUCA members, and our local high schools who joined in for a day of cleaning Lincoln Park, GreenSpace presentation about health, conservation, trivia, relay races & prizes, planting flower pots to give out to park attendees, lunch, and goodie bags. It was neat, at the end of the day, two of our leaders were interviewed for an article in LAist about our event and the positive impact we made.

Our YUCA & JYC youth clubs held their End of the Spring Banquet celebrations to honor our leadership teams, seniors, “Increase the Peace” leadership team, youth club members, and to close out the school year together with delicious food, slideshow, trophies & awards ceremony, trivia games, and prizes. We were excited for our leaders who were recognized by CD1 Councilmember Hernandez for their service to their peers and their community with beautiful certificates from the City of Los Angeles, along with their JYC, YUCA, and “IP” trophies. In addition, our leaders who are graduating seniors receive their scholarship through our leadership program.

We were able to celebrate with our Directing, Office, and Tutoring staff with our LHTP Spring Staff luncheon to thank them for all their hard work and dedication in helping their students excel.

Upcoming events will be graduations and our JYC, YUCA, and “IP” leadership training retreats.

Our JYC & YUCA members visited the UC Riverside campus. We visited the Rivera Library, Sproul Hall classrooms, Student Center, the HUB, and the lobby of the Dundee dorms. For this tour, we made reservations at the new Glascow Dining Restaurant. Our students had their fill of the delicious, All You can Eat, Saturday brunch. We ended the trip with a short questionnaire to see how much the students listened and learned during the UCR walking tour. Our youth benefited from seeing the campus In Person.

Our JYC & YUCA members also participated in the LA Marathon Water station volunteering. The morning started off with our volunteers setting up all the tables and thousands of the water & electrolyte cups. Once the race began the rush of 23,000 runners whizzed by our water station to get their quick fill to stay hydrated and to continue onward for the next 24.2 miles. We all had fun cheering on the runners, who were so appreciative for our volunteers’ efforts. After we cleaned up, we took our volunteers for a nice lunch at a restaurant, in Chinatown.

We helped with the prep work for two of our YUCA leaders, who are also part of the US Bank internship at Lincoln High School, to give a financial aid literacy presentation during our YUCA general meeting. It was a great way for them to practice giving presentations on an important topic of finances to their peers. It was a very informative presentation and our members learned about financial responsibility, with a time for Q & A, and prizes.

Meanwhile, our “Increase the Peace” Youth Advocacy Committee & Support Team leaders have been planning and preparing for their upcoming 13th Annual Volleyball tournament for the community. They are excited to be able to bring our local non profits, Rec. centers, and school clubs together for a day of friendly competition. We have our very own JYC & YUCA teams who will be participating in the tournament, and we’ve had several practices already to get ready to compete!!!

Upcoming Events will be our LHTP Kite Festival, JYC/YUCA/”IP” Leadership Nominations and Elections, UCLA College Tour, “Increase the Peace” GreenSpace Challenge, & LHTP GiveInMay Campaign Fundraiser, in celebration of AAPI Heritage Month.
