Activity 2

Maryland Middle School Program:Since its expansion into Montgomery County in 2006, AALEAD has tripled the number of schools we serve. In our middle school programs, students develop leadership skills, build a safe community with others, learn about Asian American culture and identity, and work with staff to find academic resources. Our activities range from community service, leadership workshops, cultural activities, and field trips. Our student population is very diverse and our staff members are incredibly passionate about building positive adult-student relationships with youth. In FY13, 98% of our students participated in at least one Cultural Event through our programs.During the summer Middle School, AALEAD does a targeted outreach for youth to participate in Summer Programs focused on special youth interests. Some previous topics include the performing arts, health and fitness, mental health, and social justice.
