Kids Summer Mental Health Camp: "Signups Available Now!"

Hey Legacy Fam,

We have a new and exciting up coming event this August! We’re excited to introduce our Mental Health Summer Camp for kids. This summer, we are hosting a transformative 2-day experience that bridges generations and builds mentorship through “big sibling” partnerships between younger children (ages 8-12) and young adults (18-22) from similar backgrounds.

This program is designed to support the mental health, identity, and belonging of hafu and international-background youth in Japan through art, gardening, and wellness activities. Many of these youth may navigate dual cultural identities and face challenges such as bullying or isolation. Our program creates a safe space for joy, connection, creativity, and healing.

See our program overview below:
