NEW! FRESNO LEGACY PROJECT - Liberation Generation 2026 COMING SOON!
The Fresno Legacy Project - Liberation Generation is a Leadership Development & Summer Job Opportunity for Youth (ages 18-24) in the Fresno/Clovis Area.
This annual summer employment opportunity for youth offers participant's and communities new ways to practice communicating about systemic oppression and cultural differences. Participants will practice using a common language and framework (VISIONS Tools), then use their acquired experience and creativity to become facilitators in the Liberation Generation model.
Participants will engage in peer leadership and anti-oppression/multicultural skill development. They will be exposed to conflict resolution models, financial literacy resources, and gain critical career and self development tools. The Liberation Generation model is based on the VISIONS Inc. Legacy Project, a youth development program that started in Boston, MA in 2008. VISIONS Inc. is an international consulting organization that provides training and facilitation around diversity, equity and inclusion. The Legacy Project has adapted the VISIONS Model for youth. Participants in Legacy Fresno will strengthen their understanding of the VISIONS Tools and apply them to the current issues that face our nation and the world.
The program will consist of 2 parts. The initial learning period and the final teaching period. The learning period will run for 1 day for 4 weeks out of the year. Participants will be paid half of their stipend to learn the Liberation Generation material through a series modules, assignments, and group activities/dialogues and arts based, creative activities. The teaching period will consist of participants meeting community members and measuring their own progress by facilitating lessons. Each youth will be responsible for completing each week’s assignments and being present for 3 workshops after the learning period. They will receive the second half of their stipend upon completion of 3 community workshops.
Contact us for more information and to ask any questions.
We look forward to hearing from you!
