youth leadership core -apiavote-michigan believes that youth are valuable contributors to the civic process and are vital for fostering greater civic participation, advocacy, and engagement among the great michigan apia community. This nine month program allows youth to gain better insight into asian american identity, issues that impact our community, and empowers youth to take action to be a part of implementing community solutions. Members of the ylc gain valuable opportunity to improve leadership skills, earn community service hours, and learn about key issues that affect the apia community. Our goal is to create the next generation of socially-conscious and intelligent apia voters who can not only make informed decisions at the polls, but also education others and potentially be inspired to beginning their own political careers.
