Northwest Asian Weekly Foundation held a celebratory graduation dinner on July 14, at Hong Kong Bistro, for 22 students who completed the Summer Youth Leadership Program (SYLP).
SYLP is an all-expense paid program designed for high school youth and college freshmen to develop leadership and communication skills, and to explore their identities as Asian Americans. During the program, the students had a chance to meet Asian American guest speakers, go on a field trip to KING 5, work on their projects, and have free lunches at Chinese restaurants.
Congratulations to all the graduates.
