Youth Collective Program Preview
The AustinIPA Youth Collective is a youth-led program designed to empower young people (ages 13-18) to develop leadership skills, strengthen their connection to Persian culture, and actively contribute to the AustinIPA community. Through hands-on experiences, shared governance, and a commitment to core values like integrity, inclusivity, and service, the Collective provides a platform for youth to shape their own experiences, become future leaders, and build lifelong friendships with peers who share their cultural heritage.
