For more than 40 years, Filipino Advocates for Justice has nurtured leadership among Filipino and other youth to enhance their civic capacity and help them organize their communities for meaningful change.
Our leadership development mission evolved from supporting low-wage workers in the early 2000’s displaced Airport workers to empowering and protecting vulnerable domestic workers, particularly caregivers in California and nationally.
