APACE (Asian Pacific Advocacy, Culture and Education) Academy

APACE (Asian Pacific Advocacy, Culture and Education) Academy is a 5-day summer program at ASU with a focus on Asian Pacific American history, culture, contemporary topics, cultural competency, public-speaking, and civic engagement.

APACE Academy students engage in activities which help them find connections between their cultural identity, history, and their own professional development. APACE is a space for high school students to make new connections with similarly aged peers, professionals, ASU faculty and students, and community organizations and mentors.

This year, APACE Academy is open to 30 students from Asian and Pacific Islander communities entering grades 9-12 in fall 2024. The program will be held on ASU’s Tempe campus from Monday through Friday, June 3 – June 7, 2024.
