Program Description:  This workshop is a comprehensive primer on Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders -- Who are we, what is our history in the United States, what are the issues facing our communities, how are we perceived and misperceived by others, how does our culture influence behavior.  Using a multifaceted approach that examines history, demographics, diversity, community issues, stereotypes and culture, LEAP trainers get to the heart of what it means to be "Asian American or Pacific Islander."
