National Conference
APRI San Francisco won the “Chapter of the Year” honors at the organization’s 43rd Annual National Conference. The award highlights the chapter with the most impressive accomplishments within the past year. In addition to this monumental occasion, the APRI Youth Leadership Conference was held simultaneously. This portion of the conference focused on educating and uniting young people to prepare them to become leaders in their respective schools and communities. APRI San Francisco sent the most youth to attend the conference workshops. Our chapter was able to sponsor 8 youths and 2 youth leaders, ranging from 16-24 years old. For many of the participants, it was their first experiences outside of California. “It was really great to see our nation’s capital, especially the White House and the Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial,” said Andrezonae Johnson, who was one of our standout youth participants. |
