JACL Youth Leadership Project
Filling the Pipeline: Asian American Leadership and
Empowerment
Having many student activists amongst its ranks, the JACL
has seen the positive effects of students becoming involved
in the issues that matter most to them as well as the
negative effects of apathy, which many students face in the
wake of a changing and diverse society. This guide, which is
part of the organization’s new JACL Youth Leadership
Project, is the first attempt to offer students the tools to
take that initial step towards civic participation.
Additionally, this work dually serves as a reference for
those who are already taking action and involving themselves
while on-campus and in the community. Accompanied with this
booklet, the JACL National Staff is presenting several
workshops at various college campuses across the country
where they will emphasize the need for student participation
and involvement.
In this booklet, sections include: Reasoning; Asian American
Identity; Asian American History; On-Campus Involvement; A
Call for Asian American Studies; Off-Campus Issues; Profiles
of Prominent Asian Americans; and a Resources section. If
you are interested in obtaining a copy for your school or
student organization, please contact the Chicago JACL. If
you are interested in bringing the JACL to your campus to
give a workshop on Leadership and Empowerment within the
Asian American community, please contact the JACL Fellow at
jacl.fellow@gmail.com.
