Asian Student Association of Philadelphia

Asian Student Association of Philadelphia ASAP is a youth-led organization, founded in September 2010. We took on the motivation of organizing from our experiences with violence in schools.

Asian Students Association of Philadelphia (ASAP) was founded on September 11, 2010 by a group of Asian Youth, who organized to improve public education for Asian youth, especially recent immigrants. We initially came together after December 3, 2009, when a series of attacks against Asian Immigrants occurred throughout eight hours at South Philadelphia High School. That led to an eight-day boycott

of 50 students, who were let down by school officials, and took on commitments to challenge the school system and demand for change. Throughout the last 10 months, with endless meetings with school officials, community and amongst ourselves, we were able to turn SPHS into a positive direction. From there, we formally came together as the Asian Students Association of Philadelphia.
