Youth Track: OCA Summit
Hello Advocates,
Make sure to RSVP for the OCA Summit: Resilient Communities!
Resilient Communities is a virtual summit of plenaries, workshops, and entertainment for Asian Americans, Pacific Islanders, and allies across the country. The summit will consist of advocacy training and issue-based workshops on how the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted AAPI communities.
We would like to highlight the Youth Track. This track contains workshops, panels, and conversations centering on the Youth of today. Topics include college readiness, financial literacy, and more!
The OCA-UPS Gold Mountain Scholarship for Rising College Seniors awards $2,500 to Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) college students who are rising seniors. In order to be eligible students must identify as AAPI, be enrolled as an undergraduate student, starting their senior year during the Fall 2020 term, and attend the OCA Summit: Resilient Communities. The deadline to apply is Sunday, August 23, 2020 at 11:59 PM PST. Learn more about this scholarship here ([link removed]) .
