WHo can ENROLL?

Students can enroll if they identify as Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and/or Pacific Islander (AANHPI), are currently in middle and high school (grades 6-12), are a girl or gender-expansive, and live in Colorado.

Middle and high school students will mostly attend separate sessions targeted for their grade levels. However, they will still have opportunities to connect and learn together each day of the week.

Spots are limited to 30 students —15 middle school students and 15 high school students.

 

what to expect

RepresentAsian: Nourishing Hearts, Bodies, and Minds will be a new experience for all students!

Covering topics from culinary arts to mindfulness practices, physical activities, and beyond, students will deeply connect with AANHPI women storytellers involved in fields that contribute to the well-being of our hearts, bodies, and minds.

Details will be coming soon.

 PROGRAM FEES

We will be using a payment structure that strives to increase student access by supporting everyone who wants to engage with our programs. This operates similar to a sliding-scale system. Instead of collecting income information or requesting applications for scholarships, we are trusting program participants to select the option that works best for you. Please choose the tier that best aligns with your needs.

  • This option is available to those who would love to join the program but have financial barriers.

  • This option is available to those who choose to cover the costs for programming and venue only — and are unable to cover facilitator, storyteller, material, and meal fees.

  • For those that are able to cover the full cost (e.g. programming, venue, facilitator/storyteller fees, materials, etc).
