Mission Statement
To inspire and empower Asian, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander Americans (ANHPIA) to develop their leadership potential through mentorship, leadership training and hands-on experience.
About This Cause
Vision Statement: A society in which true equal status for Asian, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander Americans (ANHPIA) exists at all levels. About APICCO Internship Program: The APICCO Internship Program includes three elements: the Internship Development Program, the Legislative Internship Program, and the Train-The-Trainer Program. · Our Internship Development Program is for mentoring and training selected API college students during the summer months, preparing them for the Legislative Internship Program. · Our flagship Legislative Internship Program places graduates of the Internship Development Program as paid interns with Oregon State Legislators, governmental entities, and private sectors. · APICCO’s newest program is the Train-The-Trainer (T3) Program. It is the next step for our intern alumni to continue developing their leadership skills and upon completion, they were engaged as the facilitators for the 2023 Internship Development Program.
