We are delighted to announce that the Juvenile Justice Reform Task Force of the YAAMNY Public Service/Social Justice Committee has been awarded the Community Builder Award from the New Jersey Institute for Social Justice (the Institute).  The Task Force has been collaborating with the Institute and the Public Catalyst Group to advocate for reform of New Jerseys juvenile waiver laws.

The Task Force is a multidisciplinary task force whose mission is to:

(i)            advocate for reform of the juvenile justice system; and
 
(ii)           assist at risk juveniles in obtaining access to social services and resources (whether they be federal, state or local) and (B) assist juveniles who have been adjudicated as delinquent in gaining access to these resources both while in secure facilities and thereafter in an attempt to prevent recidivism.

 Bob Lamm--a member of the class of 1969 and a Visiting Lecturer at Yale in 1978 and 1980--will be offering two classes this fall and winter at the City University of New York Graduate Center (34th St. and 5th Ave.)

THE JOY OF IMPROV: Join in the fun of doing improvisational comedy in a relaxed, supportive atmosphere. No performing experience is necessary--just a willingness to experiment, play, and laugh with others! No student is forced to do an exercise or game, but everyone is encouraged to participate. (Four Thursday nights, September through December. You can attend on a single-session basis. This class ran at the Grad Center for 13 semesters from 2001 through 2007.)

CLASSIC POLITICAL NOVELS: We will read and discuss five political novels--among them, John Steinbeck's THE PEARL (which students must read for the first session), Chinua Achebe's THINGS FALL APART, and Carson McCullers' THE HEART IS A LONELY HUNTER. These works are "political" not because they examine politics or government but because they richly illuminate power relations--including dynamics of gender, race, and class--while telling memorable, moving stories. Students will be expected to read each novel and participate actively in class discussions. (Five Tuesday nights, September through January.)

INSTRUCTOR: Bob Lamm's political articles, personal essays, interviews, and profiles have appeared in more than 40 periodicals--among them, the New York Times, Publishers Weekly, and Ms. Magazine--and in six anthologies. He has taught "serious" classes at Yale, Queens College, and the New School. He has run improv classes and workshops for the CUNY Grad Center, the HOPE Program, the Jewish Theological Seminary, the NYSTEA Drama Power Conferences, Friends in Deed, the Vampire Cowboys Theatre Company, and ...

Thus, we are asking alumni for proposals and news about your activites that incorporate the need for volunteers to promote public interest and social justice initiatives in the area. In addition to helping promote awareness of the many independent efforts of local alums, we help, support and manage selected projects each month.

Our goal is to focus on monthly projects that enable YAAMNY members, friends and families to volunteer in a range of activities from the laborious to more intellectually stimulating. 

Please contact volunteering@yaamny.net for additional information or to get involved.  Interested alumni should also post projects on: http://yaamny.net/volunteering. The committee will convene monthly.

After 30 years of development, the Latino community at Yale is reaching a major milestone this weekend with a move toward organizing alumni on a national scale.

An interim National Latino Alumni Board, consisting of 12 former Yale undergraduates from around the country, will be meeting in New Haven on Saturday to discuss the organization of the growing Yale Latino alumni community. At the meeting, the interim board members hope to establish the ground work for a national association of Yale Latino alumni. Assistant Dean of Yale College Rosalinda Garcia, director of La Casa Cultural, said in addition to uniting the more than 3,000 Latino graduates, such an organization would provide tangible benefits for Latinos on campus.

Garcia said in speaking to alumni, it is apparent to her that one of their biggest interests is to connect to the undergraduates they remember it being tough, and now that they are in a position to help, they want to know what they can do.

The structure and size of the Latino community at Yale have changed significantly over the past 30 years, she said. The first two Latino organizations founded at Yale were Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlan, or MeChA, in 1969 and Despierta Boricua in 1972, which are Mexican-American and Puerto Rican student organizations, respectively.

Development in the early years of the Latino community was centered almost solely on these two ethnic groups. La Casa Boricua, a Puerto Rican cultural center, was founded in 1974. In the 1980s another building was dedicated to serve the Chicano cultural center, ...
