Celebrating our 10th year in 2018 has been a tremendous milestone. We are excited to welcome all new Directors, Alumni advisors and leaders as well as new mentors and supporters who believe full-heartedly in the importance of our mission and our organization. Here is our updated introduction and vision of a world where all young American youth will have the opportunity and support to study abroad. We provide the platform and mentorship support for these driven youth to create the change they wish to see in their communities and the world. Support our #studyabroadforall campaign to create life-changing scholarships or invest in our Alumni leaders who are taking on more and more leadership roles and responsibilities to lead and govern APSA in the future. www.apsaglobal.org

The Growing Achievement & Workforce Gaps Youth are not being properly prepared for the workplace resulting in 30-40% youth unemployment rates while companies face talent shortages and hiring challenges for entry- level positions. ¡°Almost 40% of American employers say they cannot find people with the skills they need, even for entry-level jobs. Almost 60% complain of lack of preparation, even for entry-level jobs¡± McKinsey Feb. 2017 Graph from: Money, Race and Success: How your School District Compares, New York Times, April 29 2016 Caucasian Students Hispanic Students African American Students $ $$$ Educational attainment by school district. Underprivileged youth from lower income communities face tremendous pressure and difficulties in order to achieve academic and career success. As the achievement gap continues to increase, we risk that more youth will be left behind.
We are changing lives through empowering experiences abroad
We utilize studying abroad as a tool for youth empowerment and professional development Committed to preparing youth with the skills, experiences and connections to give them a competitive edge, our intensive study abroad programs integrate personal and professional development, as well as academic and career exposure. Our goal is to give underprivileged high school students from low income communities a foundation and supportive network that inspires them to pursue their future goals and passions. 2017 APSA Scholar Age 15 from Medgar Evers Preparatory College, Brooklyn, NY.
We challenge youth to face and overcome adversities through real-life experiences Jalen Gurrerro, 2017 APSA Scholar Students used a new Chinese language learning APP and then gave user feedback when they visited the headquarters of the start-up company in Beijing.
We introduce Alumni, mentors and professionals with broad global perspectives and expertise. Yanni Turner, 2008 APSA Alumna Presenting a LinkedIn workshop to fellow alumni during APSA¡¯s first Global Youth Forum at CUNY School of Law in New York.
We help to increase cross-cultural and global awareness through collaborative projects while building confidence, independence and lifelong friendships. 2018 APSA Scholars connect with Chinese high school students to learn about design thinking from an architecture firm and then collaborated to design their vision of a school in the future.
