Persian Youth Collective Program
The AustinIPA Persian Youth Collective is a youth-led program for young people ages 13-18, designed to empower them to develop leadership skills, strengthen their connection to Persian culture, and actively contribute to the AustinIPA community. Through hands-on experiences, shared governance, and a commitment to core values like integrity, inclusivity, and service, the Collective provides a platform for youth to shape their own experiences and become future leaders. In addition to their program work, members also get together monthly for various fun activities, building strong friendships with peers who share their cultural heritage.
