our mission
Asian Pacific Youth Community Leaders, or APYCL, strives to empower Asian American/Pacific Islander identifying youth in the Bay Area who are interested in developing leadership skills and bettering the communities around them.
2017 Youth Conference
In order to further our mission of empowering young APA leaders, our 2017 Youth Conference will expose and welcome participants to San Jose Japantown with its rich Asian American history and unique tight knit community. Community leaders will work with participants in workshops that will allow them to develop leadership skills, build relationships, and more fully understand Japantown. We hope this experience will spark an interest in Japantown and increase youth involvement and participation in the community.
