The event brought together friends and families in a warm, inviting atmosphere, making it a night to remember. With approximately 150 attendees, the gathering was a wonderful success.

Thank you to everyone who made the IHC Summer Gathering so special!
Wellness Day
July 27th, 2024
On July 27th, the Community Wellness and Outreach program at IHC hosted a successful Wellness Day at the park, bringing families together for a day of fun and learning in the great outdoors. The event featured interactive activities, including fitness and nutrition demonstrations, with 30 participants joining in. Highlights included a food demonstration with a nutrition lesson from Registered Dietician Yume Le, engaging games, and a workout session led by our IHC Fitness Coordinator, Danny Borrego.

Mark your calendars—the next Wellness Day will be held on September 14, 2024. We look forward to seeing you there! Stay up to date with our upcoming IHC events here.

 
San Jose Native Youth Empowerment Group 
For the month of July, our San Jose Native Youth Empowerment Group was taught how to make corn husk dolls! The youth transformed simple corn husks into uniquely crafted dolls and expressed their enjoyment in learning about the cultural significance of their creations.

Activities centered around cultural arts can significantly help youth with emotional healing, creative expression, and strengthen cultural connectedness!

Contact jduran@ihcscv.org for more information on how your youth can be a part of our San Jose Native Youth Empowerment Group!

 
Bike Repair Workshops
Wrapping up our Youth Bike Repair Workshops, participants gained valuable skills in bike maintenance and repair. These hands-on sessions not only empowered them with practical knowledge but emphasized the importance of keeping your heart healthy, mind clear, all while reducing stress! 

Bike repair activities also help individuals gain confidence, independence, and teach them healthy ways to stay active and cope with stress.

Here’s to safer, healthier rides ahead! 🚲❤️
