Jasmine Duong is a youth leader at Mutual Housing at Lemon Hill. This Summer she participated in a youth internship program with Alchemist CDC in partnership with Mutual Housing California. She was part of an effort to educate the broader community about the CalFresh program and maximize their benefits through Farmers Market matching incentives. “Now,” she said “I want to help more families with food access.”
“This year I’ve been more involved in my community than I had ever been. I’ve been using my voice to support mutual housing without realizing it. Mutual Housing stands out because of the community feel. I feel like although I’m not close with all the residents, I feel like my voice is heard and that they care. Promoting this community development model would solve many social issues that happen in a society such as racism, discrimination, inequity.”
