Mission
Statement
Asian Resources,
Inc. (ARI) is a non-profit community based organization established in 1980
dedicated to providing multiple social services needed in our community,
empowering everyone we serve to become a vital part of our changing, diverse
society.
Asian Resources, Inc. congratulates this year s 2009 Summer Youth
Employment And Hard work (YEAH) graduates!
Every year,
Asian Resources (ARI) hosts the Summer YEAH Program for youth seeking summer
employment. This internship program prepares youth for the workforce
through various life skills workshops and valuable work experience and this year
was no exception! Youth went through a two month screening process and a
week of pre-employment and work ethics training. This year s participants
completed a five week internship with various community based organizations,
public official offices, ethnic media outlets, private sector companies, health
care facilities, and law enforcement sites. The Summer YEAH Program strives to
connect youth with employment while providing youth with opportunities for
growth.
This year ARI
collaborated with Legal Services of Northern California, which offered workshops
every Friday that focused on youth development and leadership skills. This
year s program was much bigger than years past thanks to the $47,000 raised at
our 2009 Lunar New Year Dinner celebration. Additionally, ARI was awarded
a $36,000 grant from the Sacramento Region Community Foundation. With this
funding, ARI provided opportunities for parents to play an integral role in the
Summer YEAH Program. Parent participated in the orientations as well as
the student graduation. The participants celebrated the graduation
ceremony at the Boys and Girls Club-Teichert Branch with over 150 people in
attendance.
Once again,
Asian Resources is proud of the Summer YEAH youth participants for their
dedication and commitment to the program, and we wish them good luck in their
future.
Thank you to all of our sponsors for their
generous and continued support! And a very special THANK YOU to the Boys
and Girls Club (Lemon Hill Branch) for their in-kind support by providing the
venue and food for the 2009 Summer YEAH Graduation. And from the perspective on
one of this year s graduates:
'It s been the
best... it s been a blessing...it s been a great opportunity having a once in a
lifetime chance working with Asian Resources and this program. I've learned,
experienced, and cherished a great amount during this and it will definitely
contribute to my future. I gained my self-confidence and that's something I've
worked so hard, but reached it so quick in this program. Thank you!'
