MIDDLE SCHOOL
WHAT IS AGI’S MIDDLE SCHOOL PROGRAM?
We offer at least one event every month. Each event empowers middle school program participants to meet Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) womxn storytellers, get exposure to AANHPI history, and find community in Asian Girls Ignite’s sisterhood — all while investing in their future self.
With consistent attendance, students gain the social-emotional and identity development skills they need to understand the connection between themselves and the world.
WHo can ENROLL?
Students can enroll if they identify as Asian American, Native Hawaiian and/or Pacific Islander (AANHPI), are currently in middle school (grades 6-8), are a girl or gender-expansive, and live in Colorado.
