Removing barriers to higher education

Removing barriers to higher education

Brown Issues is hosting The Boys and Men of Color Resources Fair Nov. 13-14 at the City College Student Center.

A student organization that addresses issues hindering the growth of Chicano/Latino people, Brown Issues is bringing together campus and community resources for the two-day event. The fair will target 200-300 high school students expected to attend and educate them about the opportunities available to them upon graduation.

Brown Issues focus is in addressing the influence of gang violence, drugs in the community, poverty, lack of education and other barriers, said Brown Issues spokesperson Ricardo Lemus.

“We target students who are mislabeled as ‘troubled youth’ or ‘underachievers,’” said Lemus, “and encourage them to seek higher education.”

The fair will highlight City College resources such as EOPS, MESA, and RISE, while featuring live performances, speakers, music and break dancing as part of Brown Issues’ community outreach strategy.

Therefore, active members are constantly engaging youth in our communities via the two high school chapters we currently have established at C.K. McClatchy and Luther Burbank.”

Members from the high school chapters will be volunteering at the start of the event and then participate in workshops. After attending the workshops held in the Cultural Awareness Center, fair participants will be treated to a play written by Paul S. Flores, “The Most Dangerous Tattoo,” at the Crest Theater.

This is the first time Brown Issues has put together an event of this caliber, said Lemus.

The event will run from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. both Thursday and Friday.
