ASIAN AMERICAN YOUTH LEADERS MENTORSHIP PROGRAM 2024
The Asian American Youth Leaders Mentorship Program is a 4-week program that aims to provide AAPI high school students an opportunity for personal and professional growth. Students will be provided with the tools and knowledge on how to navigate job and internship opportunities, learn about different educational resources, and develop time management and goal setting skills.
Students will be placed in small groups and paired with an undergraduate student from UC Irvine’s School of Social Ecology. The program will take place in a hybrid learning environment with students participating in in-person activities on Mondays and virtual, synchronous activities on Wednesdays. (Please note that the LAST WEEK of the program has a reverse schedule with virtual activities on Monday and in-person activities on Wednesday).
