Thomas I. Yamashita Prize is awarded annually to an outstanding young social change activist in Northern California. The award of $2,500 honors a person whose work transforms the existing social landscape and serves as a bridge between the academy and the community. An awardee helps to build the capacity of community-based organizations and social movements to confront pressing issues by applying her/his academic expertise. Simultaneously, she/he enriches academic scholarship by sharing the insights and knowledge produced from community engagement with the broader academic community. The award is not limited to students, but an honoree's work should reflect a commitment to strengthening ties between the academy and the community.
Thomas I. Yamashita Prize uses a nomination system, where someone other than the nominee identifies the nominee, their contributions, and the kind of expertise they bring to understanding how change works.
