Established by the Go for Broke National Education Center in 2023, the National Torchbearers program aims to instill the values and legacy of the Nisei Soldiers in young individuals aged 21 to 30. Participants engage in civic dialogue, service-learning opportunities, and community building, all while learning about current events. The program encourages these young individuals to use these values to foster a stronger community. Last year, the NVMC participated in the Torchbearers program with our inaugural cohort of Chelsea Kau, Raina Ouye and Sterling Kim. These three individuals spent a weekend in Los Angeles with peers from across the country to discuss current day issues/happenings through the lens of the Nisei veterans.
