Mission Statement:
Asian Students In Action (A.S.I.A.) is a student-run organization at the
Boston Latin School. The club is a collaboration of Asian Cultures Club,
Southeast Asian Club, and the Japanese Club. Members participate in many
events involving service within the school and community: They have
volunteered at the Boston Food Bank campaigns, the Chinatown Cleanup Project
and at the local Chinese New Year celebrations. They have sponsored contests
with other schools and organizations, and have invited guest speakers to give
presentations on topics such as college preparation. A.S.I.A. additionally
organizes the annual BLS Asian Night, an event renowned for its cultural and
ethnic expositions. A.S.I.A. hopes to inspire others to take on similar
initiatives within their own communities and to continue to participate
extensively in community service.
We’re students. We’re young, enthusiastic, energetic, and we have a purpose.
Our mission is to represent the true meaning of cultural pride in serving our
school, community, and others. ASIA provides a forum for students to voice
their opinions, to learn from each other as well as socialize in a nurturing
and positive environment.
ASIA’s overtone involves all aspects of fun, sundry and
abounding activities; yet, the organization is not limited to Asians. As shown
in our activities, associations and members, diversity shares a great part in ASIA's
success. Our members have the opportunity to develop skills outside of the
classroom, outside of books, in, but not limited to, skills in leadership,
dedication and service to school and community, and the general “survival”
skills needed at school. We provide resources and inform those of events and
programs outside of BLS that may be of interest.
The ASIA Committee strives to uphold and exceed the principles of ASIA in
advancing its mission, to provide our peers and our members with as many
opportunities and resources possible, socially and academically, and to leave
our mark, in paving the way and serving as mentors to the future leaders of
ASIA.
We invite you to take a look at what we’ve accomplished thus far, to see what
we’re in the process of doing, to learn from what we’ve learned and see what
ASIA has to offer...
