Multicultural Association of Southern Oregon
What is the Multicultural Association of Southern Oregon (MCA)?
The MCA is a volunteer, non-political, not for profit organization consisting
of individuals, cultural groups and businesses. The mission of the association
is to serve as a catalyst in the community, promoting understand and appreciation
between cultures, by creating cross-cultural educational events where
people of all backgrounds can interact with out fear. One purpose is to
reduce racism and other forms of discrimination. We recently opened the
Multicultural Center located One East Main Street, Medford. (Vibes Building).
The MCA is supported through contributions, memberships, fund-raising
and grants.
What type of activities do you do?
The MCA sponsors a Multicultural Kids Camp through out the summer and
a five-day Multicultural Overnight Camp. Currently Day Camps are being
held every Wednesday the end of August at the Vibes Building at One East
Main Street. Diversity Days are scheduled at different locations of the
Boys and Girls Clubs of the Rogue Valley and Kids Unlimited.
Cost: $7.00 a Day
Sites: Talent, White City, Gold Hill, Medford, and Grants Pass.
The Overnight Camp is being held at Low Echo Girls Scout Camp at Lake
of the Woods on August 20th through the 24th. The MCA with the help of
the Southern Oregon Indian Center will lead middle school aged youth in
an introspective look of the world through the eyes of another culture.
There will be lots of fun as campers experience and learn about diversity.
