Apply Now for the 2020 Virtual Youth Leadership Summit!

Are you a student leader who wants to elevate Asian American and Pacific Islander issues at the national level? We're excited to announce that we are now accepting applications for our 2020 Youth Leadership Summit.

Our 7th annual Youth Leadership Summit will take place VIRTUALLY from Monday, September 14 to Friday, September 18.

We are monitoring the COVID-19 pandemic, and the health and safety of our young leaders is our priority. We have decided to transition this year's Summit from a 3-day in-person convening to a 5-day virtual convening that will take place online in approximately 3-hour blocks.

Our Youth Leadership Summit is a multi-day leadership development program for high achieving college students dedicated to addressing issues impacting Asian Americans and Pacific Islander communities. In our first-ever virtual format, the Summit will bring together 12 student leaders virtually for five days of advocacy trainings and leadership development workshops focused on civic engagement, providing a unique opportunity for young advocates from across the country to both interact with their peers as well as learn from and network with national leaders.
