South Hosts Annual Summit for Pacific Islander Resources in Education
From Talking Story to Taking Action: Raising Pacific Islander Resources in Education:

ASPIRE is part of the Washington State Asian American and Pacific Islander Voices in
Education Initiative (Voices Initiative), which launched last year to prepare Asian
American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) families, community leaders, and organizations
to help AAPI students achieve academic success.

ASPIRE Mission
The Annual Summit for Pacific Islander Resources and Education Summit (ASPIRE)
creates a space for Pacific Islander students, parents, families, educators, and
community members to come together to share and exchange perspectives, lived experiences, resources, and information on the issues facing their children in the education system. ASPIRE builds momentum behind an education reform agenda, inspired through community organizing, which supports Pacific Islander students.
