Student Leadership

Student Leadership Team

AAPI Legacy Project is organized as student-led service under Project Next Foundation. Chapters in Orange County, defined board roles, and volunteer pathways keep the work accountable, local, and repeatable rather than symbolic.

Why the team is organized this way

The project exists to help immigrant children integrate into new communities while raising awareness of diverse histories among local American students. Students lead lesson development, storytelling, outreach, and chapter growth as shared responsibility rather than a single spokesperson model.
