JOIN THE MOVEMENT OF THE NEXT GENERATION
Kizuna is building a future for our community in Little Tokyo & beyond through the education, empowerment, and engagement of the next generation.
This May, during AANHPI Heritage Month, we’re kicking off our “We Make Space” Summer Camp Fundraiser to raise $60,000, so we can continue offering one-of-a-kind cultural summer camp experiences for Japanese American youth across Southern California.
✨ We make space for culture & identity.
✨ We make space for leadership & teamwork.
✨ We make space for fun, snacks, water play, and community.
We invite you to help us celebrate our campers—not just today, but all month long.
