Asian American Leadership Program
Empowering Asian American youth to lead in their communities, push for change, and advance equity for all.
AAMPLIFY is a free two-week leadership program where you’ll develop real skills in advocacy, public speaking, and community organizing alongside students who share your experiences.
What you’ll do at AAMPLIFY
Two weeks that build the skills, confidence, and community to make real change in your school, your neighborhood, and beyond.
Leadership training
Practice public speaking, learn to run meetings, and build the confidence to organize your community. You’ll leave with skills you can us at school, in your neighborhood, and in spaces that need your voice.
Social justice education
Explore Asian American history that doesn’t make it into most textbooks. Understand the model minority myth, learn about cross-racial solidarity, and discover how young people have always been at the center of movements for equity.
Mentorship & networking
Connect with college students and professionals who’ve been where you are. Learn from community leaders and former AAMPLIFY students, discussing college applications, career exploration, or just navigating life as a young Asian American.
