Learn more about AAMPLIFY's Social Justice Leadership Summer Program from our most commonly asked questions.
1. Who is eligible to apply for the AAMPLIFY Social Justice Leadership Program?
Asian American high school students (rising 9th - 12th graders) in the Bay Area are encouraged to apply!
2. Do I need to attend the sessions in person?
Yes, the program will take place in-person in San Francisco, at a location accessible by public transportation. Accepted applicants will receive information on the exact location.
3. What sort of time commitment should I expect for the program?
This year, the program takes place Monday through Friday from 10am-3pm over two weeks, July 21 - August 1, 2025. In addition, there will be a graduation celebration on Sunday, August 3, 2025.
Outside of sessions, students may spend some time working on a capstone project within a small group. However, efforts will be made to provide adequate time for groups to work on their projects during the sessions.
To ensure participants get the most out of the program, full attendance is required at all sessions, except in cases of illness. Absences due to special extenuating circumstances may be considered on a case-by-case basis and must be pre-approved by AAMPLIFY staff.

Our program is absolutely free and we intend to keep it that way. We are an education non-profit dedicated to supporting and empowering Asian American youth.
5. When will I hear back after I apply?
We anticipate notifying students of their acceptances by early June.
6. What do alumni have to say about the AAMPLIFY Social Justice Leadership Program?
“[My favorite part is] the people. I've grown to become very good friends with not just the other students but also the adults. Everyone was so welcoming and inviting. It was nice being able to share my experiences and have my voice listened to.”
“I learned better communication skills and leadership skills that I will apply after the program.”
“I learned about how to better collaborate with a group and I learned how to take initiative in group settings. I learned about AAPI history and importance and I feel more in touch with social justice issues.”
