The program goals of our Candidate Leadership Training are as follows:


   - Increase awareness and educate Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders
   (AAPIs) on different ways in which they can make meaningful contributions to
   their community as elected and appointed officials, or civically active
   community leaders;
   - Prepare and train existing and emerging AAPI leaders for leadership
   roles in American public life through seeking elected or appointed office;
   - Strengthen local communities by building an infrastructure to
   encourage and sustain civic and political participation at the local,
   statewide, and national level; and
   - Serve as a resource for AAPIs in civic or political roles.

The CLT is one component of LEAP's *Civic Leadership Institute (CLI)*, a
non-partisan and multifaceted approach toward building civic involvement and
political leadership, sustaining local community infrastructure, and
capacity building in our AAPI community.  The other component of our CLI
includes regional Civic Engagement Conferences held throughout California.
 This year's regions include Orange County, Stockton, Fresno, and Oakland.
 More information regarding these Civic Engagement Conference can be found
