Get Connected Icon Q: How will you raise awareness of - and reflect on - the role of racial and social justice within the volunteer project?
A: Kubota Garden Foundation educates volunteers on the incarceration of Japanese Americans during WWII as this is part of the Kubota Garden's story. We believe this is an important issue to discuss at any point in time, but especially now with the Trump administration pushing travel and immigration bans.
Get Connected Icon Volunteers should be between the ages of 18 and 100.
