APAPA is a 501c3 non-profit, non-partisan and grassroots organization founded in 2001, by C.C. and Regina Yin. APAPA was established with the primary mission of empowering Asian Pacific Islander (API) Americans in civic and public affairs through education, active participation, and leadership development. With grassroots support through a growing number of chapter leaders and student interns, APAPA set out to engage voters, partner with the community, and develop API leaders of tomorrow. APAPA also engages the community through cultural events and programs to honor the positive contributions made by the API community. Through appreciation of our history, we embrace diversity as our strength. Together, we are building a better world that is diverse, inclusive, and with representation from all voices and communities.
