Asian Pacific American Leadership Initiative (APALI)


Asian Pacific Americans Tackling Identity through Education (APA-TITE)
APA-TITE is a PAACH program that encourages APA student leaders at Penn to facilitate dialogues with high school students in the Philadelphia area. All interested high school students are welcome to join the monthly sessions, which include an ice breaker, group activity, and discussion. Past topics have included intergenerational issues, APA pop culture and history, and college admissions. These sessions are aimed at preparing the students for college and helping them develop their own definition of what it means to be Asian American.  Since its beginnings in 2008, APA-TITE has connected student leaders at Penn with over 50 Asian American high school students from various schools such as Central High School, Bodine High School, and Franklin Learning Center. If you are interested in facilitating a session, please contact Mai Tsukikawa at maitsuki@sas.upenn.edu.
