AAPI Youth Rising
A Youth Organization Taking Small Actions to Make a Difference
Our Mission
We came together as AAPI Youth Rising when we organized the AAPI Youth Rising Rally in 2021. We now have over 80 Chapter Leaders in nearly 20 states and counting. We believe in fighting for inclusive education, promoting safer and healthier communities, civic engagement, coalition building and raising our youth voices.
