Civic Leadership USA (CLUSA) is a non-profit organization 501(c)(3) incorporated in Washington DC since 2013. CLUSA was founded by Mr. Sandy Chau, chairman of the board, and represents his vision and hopes of Asian and Pacific Islanders being involved in civic leadership.
Headquartered in San Mateo, California, our main objectives are to empower and organize the Asian and Pacific Islander American (APIA) communities to create a national network of civic-minded organizations and leaders. This network of leaders will work in unity to facilitate a much more involved and engaged community.
The principal activity of CLUSA is to sponsor civic leadership forums and public service internship programs across the nation. Aside from helping the Asian and Pacific Islander communities, we are all-inclusive and welcome people of all races and cultures to join us in our mission.
To support public service/government internship programs, CLUSA hosts an annual national internship training conference to train and connect civically minded students nationwide. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, this year we have moved our national student summit online and welcome you to join our “Young Leaders for America: Summit 2020”!
Young Leaders for America (YLFA) is a cohort of civically engaged students and intern alumni from CLUSA and its grantee organizations that is dedicated to fostering young AAPI leaders and supporting them in their future ventures as civically involved individuals. Through monthly webinars, we collaborate with CLUSA to spark more involvement within the AAPI communities, especially our young leaders pioneering this movement. Our group has three main goals: Equip, Embolden, and Engage.
