The Future Looks Bright.
We are proud to partner with local SLOHS students, Cal Poly and Cuesta students, and local community members
who are passionate about creating a healthy, inclusive community.
Your time can make a difference.
WE NEED YOU!
Historically, it has been difficult to come together.
Many in the AAPI/APIDA community have lived in survival mode or with a scarcity mentality due to generations of injustice.
The result is a lack of ability to come together as a collective to support each others' needs and enjoy each others' presence.
Your financial support can change this. Funds go directly to the events we give back to the community and to keep our organization alive. So thank you! We could not do this without you.
