Butte County is located north of Sacramento. In my community, there is a high percentage of youths drop outs in high school and there is a very small fraction of those who attend college. My goal is to start a youth committee through our Hmong Cultural Center here in Oroville. I want to create a youth center that is easy going and open after school and on weekends so that youths can hang out, study, and create positive networks. In here also, I want to create a committee of youths for youths.

Imagine a high school or college student taking a class on twenty-first century globalizing trends. Imagine that student turning on a computer to carry on class discussions with students on the other side of the world.
The World Classroom Project aims to establish a system by which secondary students in the U.S. and other countries interact in class together. Using videoconference and Web-based communication technology, students and teachers on opposite sides of the world will be able to come together and discuss the contemporary social and cultural issues their countries face.
