Speakers on stage at the Asian American Youth Program Youth Leadership Forum.

Asian American Youth Program

Youth Leadership Forum

Dialogue between Chinese American students and professionals working across a range of fields.

About the Forum

Navigating Two Cultures at Once

The Youth Leadership Forum aims to provide Chinese American youths with the skills, attitudes and behaviors needed to successfully navigate the dual cultures that they live in and to become actively involved in their community.

The format of the forum consists of 90 minutes of constructive and insightful dialogue, discussing a variety of topics related to different fields and time set aside for Questions & Answers. It also provides an environment where youth can socialize among each other and with the speakers to build relationships, opportunities, and to continue the discussion.
