"The S.E.A. the Future conference is about understanding each other better as a Southeast Asian community. As Cambodian, Laotian, Hmong, and Vietnamese Americans, our communities are united by a shared history of war, genocide, and survival. But we are also divided."

Welcome Back. The PrYSM office is now back open, and our new volunteer coordinators will be joining us.

Make sure to come to this weeks' After Hourz. First, we are going to hear some public speaking from SOUL youth, on two topics: (1) What does Southeast Asian mean to you? (2) Do you think we are living in a post-racial America? Then, we start our DANCE- OFF!

From Sunday, March 7 - Sunday, March 14, PrYSM will be closed to the community. Our 50+ youth and volunteers were notified of the close well in advance. Staff have decided to shut down the agency in order to focus heavily on producing our long-awaited report, "The Quality of Life for Southeast Asian Youth in Providence." The report has been 4-years in the making, and includes data from the Southeast Asian Youth Survey, conducted by PrYSM youth back in 2006. The survey interviewed over 360 Southeast Asian youth living in Providence, RI.
