 outh Conference\nFriday-Saturday\, April 16-17\, 2005</b>\nJapanese Americ
 an National Museum\n369 E. First St.\, Los Angeles CA\n\nThe title and pur
 pose of ReVISIONS lie in the hope that today's Nikkei youth can reclaim\, 
 revive\, and reinvent the definitions of "Nikkei youth" and the "Japanese 
 American community." This conference will encourage young adults at the hi
 gh school and college age level to critically think about the current stat
 us of the JA community and to then form their personal goals as well as a 
 collective vision for the future. \n\nThe mission of ReVISIONS is to bring
  together Japanese American youth from across the country to redefine the 
 Nikkei community of today and form visions for tomorrow. This will be acco
 mplished by:\n\n<ul><li>Building relationships between the youth and the d
 ifferent sectors within and outside the Nikkei community\,\n</li><li>Exami
 ning the Japanese American history and correlating present day events with
  the past\,\n</li><li>And providing the youth opportunities to participate
  and/or become involved in the community.\n</li></ul>\n\nIn 2001\, dozens 
 of young adults from across California united together to organize a natio
 nwide Nikkei youth conference. With a tremendous amount of support from th
 e Japanese American (JA) community they were able to accomplish their goal
  and in April of that year Spectrum was held in Little Tokyo\, California.
  The event brought in over one hundred participants from across the countr
 y. Together\, these young men and women created a dialogue\, generated an 
 outline of issues and concerns\, and\, most importantly\, created a voice 
 for the youth of the Nikkei community. Now\, in 2005\, we\, members of the
  Intercollegiate Nikkei Council (INC) are working to reawaken that voice t
 hrough ReVISIONS.\n\nFor full conference details\, including schedule and
