TEEN PEER ADVOCATE PROGRAM

TPAP promotes peer advocacy through weekly educational support groups at high schools in Bellevue, WA. We also hold a weekly leadership and advocacy group, and participants learn by giving peer outreach and education presentations.

By developing youth leaders known as TPAP Advocates, ACRS is building a youth-driven community that accesses and utilizes AAPI cultural strengths and core values like interdependence and group harmony to prevent dating violence. TPAP Advocates receive 40 hours of training on oppression, gender roles, dating violence, sexual assault, rape prevention and healthy relationships. Through training and advocacy, they develop leadership skills and healthy cultural identities.
