Presentations Open to Family and Community Members

Monday June 22, 2009. 8:30 – 10:30am at Stern MASS on the Cal State LA Campus (5151 State University Dr., Lot 2)

Join us to watch the twenty-two 9th grade students at the Marc and Eva Stern Math and Science School present their Annual Thesis Projects on how a healthy environment in their neighborhood requires community participation in local government. See the flyer (PDF).

Students will be presenting their projects on Cityhood for East L.A. in eight different taskforces, each focused on an aspect of city government or municipal service currently provided by Los Angeles County that will be run by the city if the current incorporation effort is successful.

Group presentation topics include: City government; Parks; Recreation; Police; Street violence; Parking and traffic; Transit; and Solid waste and water quality.

Many students have also become involved in volunteering for the Cityhood for East L.A. initiative, helping to organize a recent mural tour fundraiser event and currently working on setting an agenda for youth involvement (including possibly organizing a youth board).
