AAPI-LEAD (Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders - Learn. Engage. Advocate. Dream.) is a 4-day conference that brings together NYC’s AAPI and allied youth to discuss the experiences and issues most relevant to AAPI young people. AAPI-LEAD aims to develop AAPI youth's understanding of and relationship to their own identities, deepen the connections between social justice and equity in relation to systems and community, and equip youth with the tools to advocate for themselves, their families, and the wider AAPI community as a whole.
