Virtual Cafés were originally created by Jilska Chandrasena, with the idea to bring together youth and people from diverse communities in the Palm Springs Area. After working at a crisis center in Palm Springs, Jilska witnessed the despair and disconnect of youth in the community affected by the pandemic. She connected with other like-minded community leaders to start Virtual Cafés for our community.
As our Virtual Cafés grew, we didn't stay limited by age, and we invite everyone, regardless of age, to come and learn with us.
