Project Title: The Village Klub
\nProject Description:<\/p>\n
The Urban Village\u2019s \u201cVillage Klub\u201d was launched in the Fall of 2022. In listening to our community, we heard young people advocating for culturally relevant physical space and culturally specific support that would enhance their ability to learn, collaborate and ultimately complete school work. We are finding that after COVID-19, the reality of educational barriers for Karen and Karenni refugee youth only intensified. Youth also shared that after spending nearly 2 years in a reality where home was also school, fatigue of at home learning exists. Ultimately, students want a space, separate from home and school, where they can embrace their cultural identity, receive school support in their language and be mentored by a college going member of their community. <\/p>\n
The \u201cVillage Klub\u201d was created to try and meet the needs of these requests from our young people. Our space is designed to reflect Karen and Karenni culture which can be seen by the murals, art pieces, clothing, literature, music and atmosphere of our building. Tuesday evenings consist of homework help and post secondary planning support. We have tutors from various colleges in the community as well as volunteers from the Karen and Karenni communities who help youth with their school work. They also support students applying to college, completing FAFSA, scholarships and job applications. Thursday nights are committed to youth exploring their cultural identity while collaborating with others. Games are played, activities and conversations occur that focus on the cultural and historical identities of the Karen and Karenni people. The night wraps up with a culturally relevant meal that is prepared by elders in the community. We currently serve 40+ youth each week and are continuing to fundraise for program costs, FTE costs for a program coordinator and money for field trips and activities. <\/p>\n
