About Us
Vision
We engage AAPI youth to create community impact through leadership development and civic engagement.
Mission
Youth and community members co-create a pathway for youth to be empowered members and agents of change in their communities.
Our Story
Asian Student Alliance was created in response to the Atlanta spa shootings that occurred on March 16, 2021, and took the lives of 8 people, 6 of whom were Asian women. This sparked a group of educators to come together to create a safe space for Asian American educators and students.
Through the collaboration of students and educators, Asian Student Alliance was founded. We held our inaugural Student Leadership Conference in July 2021.
Our Initiatives
Through youth-centered programming, youth explore their intersectional identities, learn about Asian American history, participate in civic engagement and advocacy, and develop collaborative leadership skills. We engage our community to create change and increase knowledge of AAPI stories and history across Georgia.
