PNDA has various legacy programs that we utilize to achieve our mission.
FILIPINO AMERICAN YOUTH LEADERSHIP CONFERENCE (FAYLC)
FAYLC is a two day, one night leadership conference for high school students. College students and young professionals in the role of mentors facilitate an open and safe space where the youth participants can talk about their identity, culture and other Filipino/Filipino-American experiences.

YOUNG LEADERS COMMITTEE
Time Commitment: One 2hr meeting per week starting in May until August.
These meetings utilize the youth development framework, with check-ins, group agreements and rotating co-facilitators, giving young people (high school and college-aged) hands-on opportunities to learn how to: facilitate meetings, communicate with peers/elders and other skills such as, public speaking, organizing, project planning and relationship building. The main goal for the committee is to co-coordinate and plan FAYLC.
