Mission
TEACHAAPI AIMS TO SHIFT PERCEPTIONS OF THE ASIAN-AMERICAN PACIFIC ISLANDER (AAPI) COMMUNITY AND TO STRENGTHEN AAPI EDUCATION IN SCHOOLS TO FOSTER GREATER CULTURAL UNDERSTANDING AND AWARENESS WHILE CELEBRATING OUR IDENTITY, HERITAGE AND CULTURE AS A COLLECTIVE COMMUNITY. IN RESPONSE TO THE INCREASE IN RACISM AGAINST THE AAPI COMMUNITY SINCE THE START OF THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC, TEACHAAPI AIMS TO ADDRESS THESE ISSUES BY PROVIDING AAPI CHILDREN, THEIR FAMILIES, AND THE COMMUNITY AROUND THEM WITH THE RESOURCES TO UNDERSTAND THE HISTORY, HERITAGE, AND THE DIVERSITY OF THE AAPI COMMUNITY AND ITS CONTRIBUTIONS TO AMERICAN HISTORY.
