YOUTH
DEVELOPMENT
 AYPAL's
(Asian Pacific Islander Youth Promoting Advocacy and Leadership)
mission is to change the relationship of power between youth
and policy makers through direct action organizing campaigns
and arts activism. AYPAL is also a safe place where youth
can get together to talk about common issues, make new friends,
learn about their culture and history and build community
with conscious and caring adults. Past campaigns include
getting ethnic studies in schools, fighting against deportation,
and working for education reform. Past arts projects include
martial arts, guerilla theater, dance, and open space for
young people to explore our strong Pilipino history of resistance.

Pilipino Youth Coalition began in 1996 when local high school
and community college students felt there was a need for a
Pilipino Youth organization in Union City. PYC is one of 4
P/FYCs in Northern California. Pilipino Youth Coalition, Alameda
County, is a youth group where college, middle school, and
high school youth develop their leadership skills, find support
with each other, discuss current family and social issues,
etc.
Regional
Alliance for Community Empowerment
RACE is a youth community organizing team that works to make
positive change in the Union City community for youth. RACE
interns take the initiative in creating and implementing a
community campaign addressing an important issue for youth.
In the past RACE has worked to get a youth policy passed and
a youth center in Union City. Currently, RACE is challenging
the hat policy at Logan High School. RACE has been successful
in developing youth community organizing and leadership skills.
BATA:
Union City
The BATA Program is a self-esteem building project that focuses
student attention away from drug use, violence and other non-constructive
behavior to positive personal development through Filipino
cultural grounding and positive self-image. Its purpose is
to encourage realistic goals and choices through interactive
educational workshops, group discussions, field trips and
recreational activities. Students are encouraged to voice
their own thoughts and feeling about issues that may affect
their lives.
FAA
is proud to offer BATA at three Union City schools: James
Logan High School, Alvarado Middle School and Cesar Chavez
Middle School.
BATA
at Logan High School is also part of Voices, a Violence Prevention
Collaboration.
