6.5.1 - APIDA Voice and Vote: Building Power through Civic Engagement
Asian Americans are one of the fastest growing racial or ethnic groups in the United States. As such, they are also a growing share of the electorate. In this unit, students explore what success means for the Asian American community, and the role of civic engagement. Students examine the benefits and barriers of Asian Americans pursuing careers in public service, the importance of voting, and how volunteerism is connected to civic engagement.
