TeachAAPI is a dynamic and impactful educational non-profit organization launched in 2021. Our mission is to provide early exposure of AANHPI stories, cultures and peoples, fostering pride in identity and promoting understanding among students of all backgrounds. We envision a future where AANHPI cultures are seamlessly integrated into the fabric of American identity. Since our inception, we have reached nearly 250,000 students across 50 states through innovative curriculum, cultural programming and community-building.

The Director will help set programming priorities while actively designing and refining K-12 curriculum, developing educator resources, facilitating professional development, and working directly with schools and educators.
