A Community Space for AAPI Young People

We’re building a nationwide community where young leaders dive deep into the issues that matter most—from AAPI history and data equity to policy advocacy and tackling bullying. Through monthly workshops and hands-on service learning projects, AYCAN empowers students to turn their passion into action within their own school communities.

Ready to join the 2027-28 cohort?

Applications open in late August 2026.
