We are proud to be part of the larger, nationwide Kollaboration movement which now spans across 14 major cities in North America, including New York, Boston, Toronto, Detroit, Chicago, Washington DC, Atlanta, Tulsa, Dallas, Houston, Honolulu, San Francisco, and LA.
Our primary mission and mantra is, %u201CEmpowerment through Entertainment%u201D. In addition to encouraging the diverse talents of API talents, Kollaboration seeks to empower:
API youth by providing them with a creative outlet and leadership training that serves as an alternative to gang-activity and delinquency for those at-risk
API families by offering a platform for communication that bridges the gap between 1st generation parents and latter generation youth
and the API community at large, by raising awareness for other critical community issues and NGOs.
