Mission:
Founded in 2017, APIs Mobilize is a non-profit organization that seeks to cultivate greater participation of Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander Americans in public service through educational opportunities.
Programs:
APIs Mobilize’s programs include our high school youth leadership program, College Legislative Internship, and Mobilizer Network for high school and college students. These programs provide hands-on experience in civic engagement, public service, and community leadership. Through interactive sessions with accomplished leaders, admissions and career guidance, and real-world training, participants gain the skills and confidence to lead with impact.
Impact:
Since its founding, APIs Mobilize has graduated over 400 high school students from its leadership programs statewide. More than 90% of participants reported increased confidence in public speaking, leadership, and civic engagement. Alumni consistently highlight the inspiration they gained from hearing real-world stories shared by diverse leaders, which deepened their sense of purpose and commitment to community leadership.
