LEAD Filipino

LEAD Filipino LEAD Filipino builds the civic and cultural power of Filipino Americans by developing public leaders and community organizers to create change.

Through cultural programs, civic education, and grassroots campaigns, we transform visibility into impact. Leadership, Education, Activism & Dialogue (L.E.A.D.) Filipino, is a nonprofit organization and movement which promotes local engagement, social awareness, and public service among our Valley’s FilAm community. We provide community-responsive workshops, leadership programs, and advocate for issues of racial equity and public safety. Through local partnerships we strive to not only expose – but educate – young Filipinas/xs/os about the community around them from career, academic, and larger-involvement perspectives. In working toward our mission, we host our programs in the San Jose/Silicon Valley. We strive for a simple goal – create lasting change to empower Filipinas/xs/os to persist and achieve as leaders in their own communities today. Weekend hours based on events.

We honor and celebrate the Ohlone and all Indigenous peoples, the original stewards and protectors of ancestral lands, across the world. Today and every day, we uplift their histories of resilience, resistance, and renewal, and recognize their ongoing fight for sovereignty, justice, and cultural preservation. We encourage everyone to continue advocating for Indigenous Peoples’ Day in our schools, cities, and beyond.

Our LEAD Filipino office is closed today in observance of Indigenous Peoples’ Day and will reopen tomorrow, October 13.

When we talk about Filipino American history in San José and the Santa Clara Valley, what is one story, place, person, or contribution you think more people should know about?

The “Generations California@250: Filipino Americans in San José” Film Screening & Panel Discussions explored topics around preserving history, connection to identity, and visibility.

We are only a week into Filipino American History Month and there’s still so many unforgettable memories yet to be made at our upcoming events!
