Hi friends and community contacts:

Happy New Year!

Please help spread the word! TACL provides various youth programs, and 2011 is underway with the return of our winter camp for youth, scholarship opportunities for graduating high school students for both OC and Los Angeles Counties, and both our high school Journalism Internship and college Political Internship applications being accepted NOW. Our Northern California TACL-Leading Youth Forward (LYF) Summer Camp is also now accepting registration. Meanwhile, TAP Nationwide, continues to hold regular events to develop young professionals, focusing on leadership, identity, networking, and community (LINC). Many TAP Chapters are holding various Lunar New Year events and TAP-LA has a ski trip the same weekend as winter camp. The below message, has compiled the various programs, and upcoming TAP and other notable events nationwide. Please help pass on to people in respective areas and pertinent contacts as they apply if you think there may be any interest. Thanks!
