I Support the Mosaic Project

Editor,

My name is Brooke Kasl-Godley and I’m writing to you today to express my support for The Mosaic Project. I had the wonderful opportunity to be a part of the Mosaic Project’s Youth Leadership Project during my junior and senior years at Castro Vally High School (I’m a graduate of the class of 2022) and read your recent article mentioning them. I can confidently assure Castro Valley residents that the Mosaic Project will bring nothing but good to our community. Being involved in the Youth Leadership Project was one of the most impactful experiences I had in high school: I gained conflict management skills, a new perspective on the value of diversity, and friends that I’ll have for the rest of my life. The Mosaic Project doesn’t just give kids an awesome outdoor education: it also brings them lessons in active communication, acceptance, and open perspectives that will aid them in our ever-changing world. In Castro Valley, we often pride ourselves on being an inclusive, diverse, and supportive town: let’s act on those values we hold dear and welcome the Mosaic Project into our community.

Peacing it together,

–Brooke Kasl-Godley, Castro Valley
