Got Rights? All that and Dim Sum: APANO Youth Advocacy Institute

Asians and Pacific Islanders are breaking out of the passive, invisible stereotype and speaking up and speaking out for equal rights. APANO’s new summer institute for emerging leaders is an intensive 2-day community building and leadership training program for Oregon young Asian and Pacific Islanders. We seek to bridge the gap between the younger and older generations, deepen our understanding of a Pan-Asian/Pacific Islander culture, and learn new skills to help unify and advocate for our community needs.

Invitation Only – The summer institute will bring together an intentionally diverse group representing as many of the 30+ Asian and Pacific Islander communities in Oregon. If you, or someone you know, is interested in long-term community leadership and is between the age of 16-23, we invite you to contact our registrar Ketsmaly for information on applying to participate.
Keynote Speaker – Professor Angie Chuang is professor of journalism at the American University specializing in race and ethnicity in the media. A former Oregonian reporter, Ms. Chuang is widely known for her humor, anti-racism and great dim sum eating skills.

Interactive Program – Workshops, theater game, small group discussions, excellent food and a chance to share your story.For application/nomination and general information please contact ketsamaly@gmail.com or call 503-512-0274.

APANO believes that API youth can make a difference given the right tools and opportunities to succeed. Asians and Pacific Islanders continue to be the 2nd fastest growing communities of color here in Oregon. We bring with us our rich cultural histories, traditions, and most importantly our stories of successes and trials. As youth, we face new discoveries and yet real challenges in today’s society.
