who we are
Asian Girls Ignite is on a mission to build a strong community of Asian American & Pacific Islander (AAPI) girls and women to celebrate our individual and collective power through shared stories.
Who We Serve
Asian Girls Ignite welcomes all Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) girls and gender-expansive youth in middle and high school (grades 6-12). We currently only serve in Colorado.
“The connection at Asian Girls Ignite makes me feel like I'm not alone. I'm not the only Asian girl who has experienced whatever I've been experiencing — there are a ton of other women and girls like me.”
- Katie, member & Program Co-Designer
