South East Asian Young Leaders (SEAYL)
SEAYL, or South East Asian Young Leaders, is a program for youth that promotes leadership, community improvement, and the sharing of cultural practices. SEAYL was formed in October 2003 after the tragic murder of Chan Boonkeut in an effort to address community violence in Richmond and the greater West Contra Costa area. Located in the STEP AHEAD building, SEAYL aims to keep youth off the streets, promote the youth voice, and develop valuable life skills.
