ETHNIC STUDIES
Our organization’s educational programs and services are founded on the teachings and tenets of Ethnic and Filipinx Studies. In this beliefs, we center our curriculum and related frameworks on three grounding questions of Ethnic Studies, as formulated by the late Pinay scholar and inspiration, Dr. Dawn Mabalon:
- Who am I?
- What is my family’s story in the United States?
- What positive changes can I make in my community?
