API (Asian and Pacific Islander) Youth Forum is an annual summertime event for teens, young adults, and adults to gather for a celebration of culture, leadership, strong communities, and healthy relationships. It is a space created for youth and by youth (ages 13-22). Since the first Youth Forum in 2015, over 100 youth annually have participated in workshops, shared their stories, given performances, and presented social impact projects.  

Alongside staff of community-based organizations, youth leaders across LA county are currently co-leading the planning for Youth Forum this year, bringing fresh ideas, new energy, and strong ties to the community.
