The Pan Valley Institute is located on West Shaw Avenue, near the northwest corner of Shaw and Fruit.
Seven Central Valley youth share their powerful stories of culture, oppression, self-identity and hope in digital stories they wrote and directed. Using photographs, musical pieces, and artwork, along with other forms of media, these stories illustrate the major issues facing this new generation today. Representing a culturally diverse blend of views, the youth featured in Sharing Our Silence come from Mixtec, Hmong, Mexican and African American/Hawaiian backgrounds.
