Building Bridges: Empowering Asian American Families in OC
Educate to Empower and the Center for Asian Americans in Action (Center for A3) are teaming up again to present a discussion series for Asian American students, parents and educators to talk about the impacts of the “model minority myth” in the classroom, at home, and beyond. The series, entitled Building Bridges: Empowering Asian American Families in OC, will create opportunities for Asian American families to share stories about the mental health impacts of discrimination and stereotyping and discuss ways schools and school districts can better support Asian American students and their families.
Building Bridges: Empowering Asian American Families in OC is an opportunity for Asian American students and parents to engage in workshops with each other and to connect with local Asian American community leaders and build a network that supports advocacy and change. Participants will gain new information, support, and tools that will empower them to make an impact in their school communities. Together, we will continue to foster stronger school environments in which our Asian American students can thrive.
Virtual sessions will take place Tuesday evenings in October: 10/3, 10/10, and 10/17 from 7-8PM. The series will culminate in a half-day, in-person summit on October 22, 2023 from 9AM-12:30PM. We hope to see you at Building Bridges!
