The Civic Leadership Institute (CLI) was created to address the need for more civic participation, voting, and electoral representation by one of the nation's fastest growing ethnic groups - the Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) community, as well as create a path for motivated and promising AAPI leaders to seek and secure elected and appointed positions at the local, state and federal levels. Through the CLI, we seek to provide the spark for meaningful discussions on public policy issues important to AAPI communities, and to also provide participants with a skill set and knowledge that will allow them to become effective advocates for the policies and communities they seek to represent.

In order to inform its programs and address the community's needs more effectively, LEAP is launching a survey about "Civic Engagement". How do you define civic engagement? What are the issues relating to civic engagement that are specific to the Asian American and Pacific Islander community? What are some barriers to civic engagement and how can we overcome them?
Express your opinions about what civic engagement means for Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders by filling out this survey:
