Kids and teens are bullied everyday in schools and online. For centuries, the Asian American and Pacific Islanders (AAPI) community has been pushed to the sidelines, considered to be outsiders who have to continually prove that we belong. AAPI youth are bullied for their appearances, skin color, accents, food and more.

Unfortunately, many AAPI youth who are bullied face unique cultural, religious, and language barriers that can keep them from getting help. Act To Change envisions a world where every child can grow up feeling safe and celebrated in their identities.

Volunteers: High school student only. Act To Change’s Youth Ambassadors Program (YAP) in partnership with The Asian American Foundation (TAAF) empowers and engages Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) youth to effectively combat bullying in their communities through meaningful conversations and engagement with faculty and school administrators.
