CAUSE is excited to invite you to celebrate the completion of the 2021 CAUSE Leadership Academy (CLA) program. 

With this year’s new virtual program format, the cohort of 14 CLA interns were placed at CAUSE. Throughout the summer, the interns have been connecting with change-makers across various sectors, diving deep into issues affecting the Asian Pacific American (APA) community, and producing civic-based projects to empower the APA community on relevant issues. 

The internship had two major focuses: the 2022 Mayoral Elections and energy conservation. They identified important APA issues and built informational materials to empower the APA community and mayoral candidates for the upcoming 2022 Mayoral Elections. In addition, CLA interns reached out to community members and developed an APA focused energy conservation awareness campaign with the support of Energy Upgrade California. 

Join CAUSE, elected officials, community leaders, local press, and families to congratulate this year’s CAUSE Leadership Academy cohort and hear more about what they have accomplished.
