Walk with Sally

Negative air ions are generated over the ocean, and these ions are thought to be beneficial for overall psychological health, well-being, and productivity. Not only do beaches offer a tranquil scene for outdoor activities; they also offer enhanced air quality, which can improve psychological functioning.
Walk With Sally’s beach day is a day for hope and healing for children and families burdened by cancer. Every element of beach day is carefully designed to support the overall psychological well-being and development of coping skills for children and families in bereavement, trauma, and survivorship.

UCLA Watts Leadership Institute

UCLA Watts Leadership Institute recieved a grant to directly support the 8 cohort organizations/10 individuals who are engaged in the second WLI cohort.  The funds will underwrite a portion of their expenses as they plan and implement community programming and community engagement activities during the 2021-2022 fiscal year.  The number of community members served by WLI will be determined by the individual cohort members as their programs develop.  Founded in 2016, WLI is a 10-year initiative of the Social Justice Research Partnership within the UCLA Luskin School of Public Affairs.  Drawing upon an innovative and engaging peer learning model, WLI directly addresses gaps in nonprofit knowledge, capacity and sustainability by supporting a cadre of community-based leader-mentors who will guide other leaders and small nonprofits in the future.  WLI works under the 501-C-3 status of the UCLA Luskin School of Public Affairs but receives no funding from them.

“As with cultural heritage efforts anywhere, there remains much to be done: expanding awareness of the creation myths and stories of indigenous Pacific Islander worlds and what are considered significant feats, features, and beings within them; making known indigenous Islander place names; bringing to light nuances of hundreds or thousands of years of interaction between Islanders and their environments, as well as customary lifeways and the smaller and larger events within them; creating awareness of shared Island and Islander history and connections among regional deities, peoples, societies, and cultures that transcend local divisions or national boundaries; highlighting indigenous and colonial histories from the indigenous Islander perspectives; and showcasing Islanders as they moved through time and space in their homelands but also as they continued their journeys to areas within other parts of the U.S.” Essay 12: Pacific Islanders in the US and their Heritage: Making Visible the Visibly Absent by Kelly G. Marsh and Tiara R. Na’puti.
