INTERNSHIP ANNOUNCEMENTS BY APIHR FOR API LGBTIQ YOUTH
Asian Pacific Islanders for Human Rights
Founded in October 2000, Asian Pacific Islanders for Human Rights' (APIHR) purpose and goals are to advance the human rights of Pan Asian/Pacific Islander (API) lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersexual, queer and questioning (LGBTIQ) people. APIHR offers the API/LGBTIQ community a range of programs and services - from public education of gay and lesbian issues from an API perspective, youth outreach and leadership development, API-specific Anti-homophobia campaigns, and proactive policy development focusing on improving and securing the human rights of API/LGBTIQ people at local, state and national levels. APIHR is the first agency in the nation with the purpose of advancing the rights and well being of this underserved population. And, with the opening of 'Ohana House in July 2003, APIHR is the first agency in the nation to offer a Community Center created by and for API/LGBTIQ people.
