IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc0The CAUSE Leadership Academy (CLA) was founded in 1991 in order to develop a pipeline of leadership for the Asian Pacific American (APA) community. CLA teaches students the importance of civic engagement and political participation and prepares its participants to be leaders at the forefront of the democratic process. Through exposure to decision-makers, policy makers, and the issues of the day, students gain a deeper awareness of the political issues facing the APA community in California and the nation. Graduates of this program have gone on to run for political office and have even become leaders in politics, business, and nonprofits.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy3Grp/Desc0The CAUSE Civic Engagement Leadership Fellowship (CELF) is a leadership development fellowship program geared towards graduate students interested in becoming greater civic leaders for the benefit of the APA community. The CELF program was specifically designed in order to address the need to bridge the gap between local government and APA immigrant communities. In this highly intensive fellowship program, fellows are trained to reach out and actively engage APA immigrant citizens by providing an in-language education on the importance of public policy discussion and civic participation through providing increased voter education and outreach services as well as a greater access to local government.
