The APEX Excellence in Youth Leadership Award aims to inspire leadership in the next generation of Asian Pacific Islanders. It recognizes youth whom have demonstrated excellence as leaders in their school or community, and creates another avenue for creative expression where art has been drastically reduced from school budgets. In addition, the award is an opportunity for the Asian American community to acknowledge and support outstanding youth.
