Document Description
Through its Building API Community Power program, AYPAL provides Asian and Pacific Islander youth from Oakland with political education and leadership development in order to build youth power and voice to create positive changes in their communities. With the ETC grant, AYPAL will incorporate coastal day-trips and multi-night camping trips into its programming. These trips will present opportunities to educate youth about environmental justice, while also providing time for fun and relaxation. AYPAL will serve up to 100 youth through existing ethnic studies and gender justice programs where they will engage in outdoor coastal socials, learning opportunities, and retreats throughout the year. Participants will include interns from existing programs as well as the general membership base, which includes young women, nonbinary youth, young men, and queer youth. Participants will engage in a range of activities including kayaking, hiking, swimming, and camping, all at coastal or San Francisco Bay locations.
