We had a wonderful time at our final Art + Mental Health Workshop of the spring, “Sonic Histories: Living Room Stories with Chinatown Records,” with DJ historian Rochelle H. Kwan (yiuyiu 瑶瑶)!

We ended the semester on a warm and cozy note with our final QCAP Chai & Cocoa Chat of the fall! Community members gathered in the QCAP Space during free hour to enjoy refreshments, do some coloring, and engage in meaningful conversations. With finals approaching, the event offered a relaxed opportunity to slow down, connect, and unwind together. Thank you to everyone who stopped by!

End-of-Semester Lunch with QCAP Student Leaders (12/08)

It was wonderful for the QCAP Team to come together with our QCAP Interns and Multilingual Tutors to reflect on the fall semester and celebrate all our hard work at our end-of-semester lunch! We especially loved our interns’ thoughtful presentations. This semester, our interns partnered with Apex for Youth, MinKwon Center for Community Action, and South Queens Women’s March, where they built skills in community outreach, advocacy, leadership, and so much more. A huge thank you to the internship mentors who were able to join us! And we’re so proud of all our QCAP student leaders and everything they’ve accomplished!
