On behalf of the State of New Jersey, I am pleased to welcome all those in attendance for
the Asian American Youth Council Kick-off Ceremony.
The Asian American Youth Council was founded in order to provide a voice for all Asian
Americans across the United States. As a community of young individuals, the Council focuses on
current social issues including race, gender, and politics to cultivate and educate influential leaders
of the future. With more than 50 youth activists across the nation, each member brings years of
experience in civil engagement to accurately represent the Asian Community.
