First, tonight YAC is co-sponsoring the Town of Amherst Social Justice Project showing of Unnatural Causes. Join us tonight from 5-7pm at Amherst Cinema for this free showing of the eye-opening documentary about the causes of health inequality in the United States. Check out the preview below of the section being shown tonight!
Next up, on Thursday night from 5:30-7pm, the Capturing Stories Capstone Class from UMass Amherst will be presenting their completed projects at Food for Thought Books. These students spent the year volunteering with community organizations, including YAC, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Hampshire County, the Amherst Survival Center, the Literacy Project, Nuestras Raices, and the Center for New Americans, and interviewing people involved with the organizations to share their stories. It's going to be a great evening, with 5 YACies profiled!
Finally, this Friday from 5-7pm is MAKING OUR WAY: the YAC art & media showcase! Join all of YAC at the Nacul Center Gallery (592 Main St, Amherst) to see some amazing artwork and celebrate an incredible year of programming.
There will be food donated by the Fresh Side and Henion Bakery!
This event is also a fundraiser for YAC. We'll be accepting donations at the door, there will be a raffle drawing for prizes from many local businesses, and many pieces of youth artwork will be for sale.
