Chinatown Youth Initiatives (CYI) moved towards a greater emphasis on community activism since 2003, when summer participants created a mural and organized the First Annual Beautification Day. Since then CYI has been involved with a number of community projects.!
This year's youth conference will be on Saturday, August 14th, in the Woolworth Building (233 Broadway, New York, NY)
The Chinatown cleanup will be on Sunday, August 15th, in the New York Chinese Community Center (62 Mott Street, New York, NY)
