J-Sei is all about keeping our traditions and community thriving. They offer such a rich selection of classes-everything from language to arts- while sharing our history and values across the J-Sei community.

I personally love their events, like Flavors of Spring! And I can’t forget the awesome nutrition program; you really have to grab a bite at a J-Sei event to see how much heart goes into their food.

Beyond the food and fun, J-Sei has created a space where LGBTQ+ Nikkei and Japanese community members are fully seen and celebrated. They make sure 'community' truly means everyone. I’m fundraising to ensure that no matter how you identify, you always have a place where you are welcome.
