Historic Preservation is meant to keep the best parts of the past alive so that future generations can partake in these shared cultural resources.

Thankfully, Katie Rispoli Keaotamai, the founder and executive director of We Are The Next, is here to share about the work her nonprofit is doing to help youth in traditionally underserved and overlooked communities learn how to be active citizens, and understand the value of preserving their neighborhoods and communities.
