APIA Youth Outreach
Organizing Tools
The APIAVote’s Voice Your Vote Youth Campaign strives to
empower young Asian & Pacific Islander Americans by providing
training and technical assistance to APIA youth nation-wide. APIAVote
works closely with the National APA Panhellenic Association, NAASCon and numerous
other student conferences and student organizations across the nation.
The campaign has trained over 500 APIA youth and already boasts
the participation of over 80 colleges and universities. Through
education and training, the campaign aims to significantly impact
the APIA youth voter trends in the upcoming election by registering
and mobilizing voters. Get connected to these youth voter projects
