Pomona Unified School District (PUSD), Citrus College, Mt. San Antonio College, and CPP work together to serve students in the East L.A.

Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander Initiatives

Asian American and Native Hawaiian Pacific Islander (AANHPI) Initiatives create opportunities for connection, cultural affirmation, and holistic student success. Supported by CSU ASAP funding, we expand access, equity, and affordability while building pathways to high-demand careers. Through culturally responsive learning communities, advising, mental health support, tutoring, career development, leadership opportunities, and AANHPI-focused courses, we collaborate with campus partners to strengthen community and ensure students are connected to the resources they need to thrive academically, personally, and professionally. At CPP, AANHPI Initiatives collaborates with campus programs and organizations to celebrate culture, build community, and connect students to resources that promote academic achievement, personal growth, and overall wellbeing.
