The Project PULL Academy Leadership Challenge and College Preview is an intensive, one-week summer residential program for high school students who are interested in learning about college opportunities as well as current issues affecting the Pilipino American community. Academy 2000 will be held from Sunday, August 13th, through Friday, August 18th, at the Stanford University campus in Northern California.

The Academy curriculum combines culture, technology, leadership, and fun into a unique and memorable learning experience.  Project PULL welcomes applications from motivated freshman, sophomores, or juniors (sorry, seniors!) throughout the United States.  You need NOT be Pilipino to apply.

What can I expect as an Academy graduate?

After graduation, Academy alumni rely on each other and other members of the Project PULL community (a network of educators, performers, student organizers, young professionals, and other community leaders) to tackle tough leadership issues in their respective areas. 

At the Academy, participants should expect to be challenged. That's all we'll say for now.  If you graduate, only you can decide what's next.

Who is involved with the Academy?

Academy Alumni

Academy alumni work with the core team to raise funds and develop ideas for future programs. 

Instructors & Presenters

During Academy week, Knowledge Activists meet members of the Project PULL community, who volunteer their time to educate and dialogue with participants.

Program Partners (institutional affiliates)

The Academy program is organized in partnership with the Asian American Activities Center (A3C) at Stanford University and Filipinos for Affirmative Action (FAA), a community-based organization serving youth, immigrants, and the elderly of Alameda County in Northern California. 

Academy 2000 is made possible by a grant from the California Endowment.

Core Team (recent college alumni)

The Academy Core Team is responsible for organizing the Academy.  Core Team members are selected on the basis of personal motivation and expertise in a variety of areas.  Members represent a broad range of personal backgrounds, educational experiences (e.g. community college, four-year private universities), and career choices (e.g. health care, finance, and technology).
