A-VOYCE School Year
ACDC’s A-VOYCE School Year program runs from October to May, with programs in Chinatown and Malden.
This program centers Asian American experiences but is open to young people of all identities who express commitment to these topics of social justice, and are open to talking about race and identity.
Youth meet once a week after school. The A-VOYCE programming structure is a combination of collaborative learning and project-based work.
ACDC runs A-VOYCE School Year programs in both Chinatown and Malden.
Why Chinatown and Malden?
In 1999, ACDC started its first Chinatown youth leadership program. Our Chinatown programs utilize placekeeping strategies to preserve and activate open spaces. The Chinatown programs directly combat gentrification and the cultural erosion of Chinatown.
In 2018, ACDC opened a satellite office in Malden, as a result of two factors: 1) Malden is a gateway city for many Asian immigrants, and 2) gentrification displaces many Chinatown residents into Malden. Our Malden programs design projects to celebrate and bring awareness to the diversity of Asian and youth voices in the Malden community.
