Shaping the Future: The AANHPI Student Achievement Program Home

In collaboration with the California Commission on Asian and Pacific Islander American Affairs (CAPIAA), the California Community Colleges Chancellor’s Office (Chancellor’s Office), and our advocacy and community partner Asian Pacific Americans in Higher Education (APAHE), FoundationCCC was selected as the Central Office to establish the Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) Student Achievement Program. The program aims to provide culturally responsive services to enhance student educational experiences and promote higher education success for low-income, first-generation AANHPI students, and other underserved and underrepresented students.

Program Vision and Mission About

Our mission is to ensure the success of underserved AANHPI students by providing policy guidance, technical assistance, and by fostering partnerships with community colleges throughout the state. As the Central Office, FoundationCCC offers unparalleled flexibility to assist colleges in developing statewide collaborations, advocating for necessary resources, and delivering essential services through resources available within FoundationCCC and beyond. This groundbreaking legislation-protected program is set to transform the landscape of education for AANHPI students and marks a significant milestone in our ongoing efforts to advance AANHPI initiatives within the California community colleges.

Broadening Horizons: Our Impact and Reach: The AANHPI Student Achievement

By leveraging the expertise and collaboration of various stakeholders, FoundationCCC is driven to make a positive change and create a transformative impact on the educational journey of AANHPI students, ensuring equitable opportunities and learning outcomes.
