Help me make this passion a reality!

Familia!

I sincerely appreciate you for taking to the time to read this! As you may know, I recently graduated with my Masters in Social Work from Washington University in St. Louis with a concentration in Social Justice Education and Youth Development. I am originally from the Nickerson Gardens Housing Projects in Watts, CA and recently returned in May. As a first generation student from a predominantly Black and Latina/o neighborhood in Watts, CA, I feel obligated to make a meaningful and lasting contribution to working-class poor communities of color. My passion is to improve the quality of life for members of underserved communities while empowering them to foster change through social and individual transformation. One of my many goals is to assist youth in embracing their ethnic identity and to instill in them a sense of social and political consciousness. Examining cultural identity is not a high priority among the majority of inner-city youth because the prevalence of police corruption, drug trafficking, and poverty in their communities requires them to focus on their survival.

Since my return to Los Angeles, I have been diligently searching for employment and the majority of employers request a vehicle from potential employees. The opportunities I am seeking require traveling to schools and agencies to build effective relationships and partnerships. As I currently do not have a vehicle, I am asking for donations to further my professional career and increase my opportunity to create change, live my passion, and advocate for our youth. My life goal is to equip youth with the tools they need to fight back against oppression and spread love and awareness among themselves and their respective communities. Once again, thank you for taking the time to read this. Any contribution to help me make this passion a reality is greatly appreciated!

Sincerely,
Rosa Jennifer Colin, MSW
