AAPI Youth Collective Advocacy Network (AYCAN)
Since 2022, the AAPI Youth Collective Advocacy Network (AYCAN) has been a virtual hub for AAPI teens across the country to connect, learn, and lead.
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.
Want to join the ’27-’28 cohort?
Applications open in late August 2026.
