A LETTER FROM MINH NGUYEN Former Asian Youth Empowerment Program (AYEP) Organizer
Dear Everyone,
Thank you for visiting our AYEP website. This program has been a long time in the making. As AYEP Coordinator, it has been my pleasure and honor to be a part of the amazing team at BPSOS-Delaware Valley for the last 3 years. Ever since the student attacks on 30 Asian immigrant students on December 3, 2009 in South Philadelphia High School where 13 immigrant students were sent to the hospital, it has been our mission at BPSOS to develop powerful and well-planned youth programs to meet the needs of our Asian American and Pacific Islander youth in Philadelphia.
The Asian Youth Empowerment Program was developed to help youth learn about the many pressing issues in our community and in our society, as well as compel them to create change within themselves, each other, and the neighborhoods in which they reside. In this website, you can learn more about our 5 BPSOS youth projects under the Asian Youth Empowerment Program (AYEP):
School-Year Youth Leadership Programming: 1) Vietnamese Immigrant Youth Organization (VIYO) 2) Youth of Philadelphia Organizing for Power (Y-POP) 3) BCUBED Summer Paid Internships Programming(6 weeks from July 1-Aug 9): 1) Summer Youth Career Exploration Program (SYCEP) 2) Journey Home
Here, you can navigate through the tabs and learn about the various programs we have developed, view PICTURES and watch videos, APPLY to be a member, and understand the IMPACT and importance of youth leadership development. Lastly, questions, commentaries, feedback, etc are all welcome so Contact us using the CONTACT tab. Once again, thank you for visiting us and enjoy the website!
Peace, Love, and Happiness, Minh Nguyen BPSOS- Former Asian Youth Empowerment Project Organizer (AYEP)
