LEAP Emerge
LEAP Emerge empowers young leaders to be a part of LEAP’s sustainable, cross-sector and national Asian and Pacific Islander (API) leadership pipeline. LEAP believes that an impactful API leadership pipeline requires investing in the foundation: our students. Composed of two approaches: LEAP Emerge: Summer Internship Program and LEAP Emerge: Partnerships, LEAP Emerge is designed to develop college students by providing them with practical leadership skills and the opportunity to work hands-on in the API community and create long-lasting, culturally centered change.
