Project PULL ... a learning organization with the Filipino American community Details
Established in 1994 as a youth leadership development workshop serving the Filipino community in the US, Project PULL soon developed a series of pioneering initiatives including The BARANGAY (1995) and Project PULL Academy (1997-2000). In 1995, Project PULL launched The BARANGAY, the first online resource guide for Filipino youth leaders, organizers, and service providers in the US, and, in 1997, established the Project PULL Academy Leadership Challenge & College Preview for Filipino American youth (aka Project PULL) – a summer residential education program combining ethnic studies, leadership training, and mentorship, in partnership with Stanford University's Asian American Activities Center (A3C) and Filipinos for Affirmative Action (FAA). Based on an original theory of social change called "networked capability," the Academy created a leadership pipeline for the Filipino American community, with its graduates organizing next generation initiatives such as KAYA (Filipino Americans for Progress), Designing Your Best Year Ever (dybye!), and Filipinas for Rights and Empowerment (FiRE).
