The Peer Resource Group uses the arts to address personal development and community issues among its diverse constituency of low-income Vietnamese, Chinese, Filipino, Cambodian and Laotian refugee youth who live in San Francisco's inner-city Tenderloin District. After being interviewed, teens who have a special interest in community work meet Monday- Friday from 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. to identify subjects around which to create art pieces. Recent examples include a video about stereotyping Asian Americans; a theater piece about AIDS; a collection of traditional ghost stories gathered from Asian-American seniors and ceramics installations in the neighborhood. Youth always present their work to the public, allowing for discussion and feedback. In addition to creating art, youth volunteer their services. The program serves as a model for other youth service agencies and attracts former participants back to serve as group leaders and mentors for new generations of Southeast-Asian youth. Participation in the Peer Resource Group is free and ongoing throughout the year.
