Through a variety of programs and engagements, including U.S. educational and cultural exchanges, regional exchanges, and seed funding, YSEALI seeks to build the leadership capabilities of youth in the region, strengthen ties between the U.S. and Southeast Asia, and nurture an ASEAN community.

  • Homelessness Awareness Week (HAW), hosted by KSU’s CARE Services, is a week-long series of events dedicated to increasing awareness of homelessness on college campuses as well as reducing stigmas related to students facing homelessness. Each year in November, students and community members are invited to attend a multitude of events to learn more about homelessness on campus and in Atlanta. Empty Bowls is a fundraiser that takes place during HAW. Empty Bowls is an international grassroots effort that takes place at KSU in a very unique way and is possible because of the various partnerships that have helped to make this event successful. The purpose of Empty Bowls is to raise awareness about homelessness and food insecurity while raising funds to help KSU students who are experiencing these issues. 
  • “Community Impact Day” showcased the outreach and engagement efforts across all of KSU's colleges and other units (Athletics, Museums, Student Leadership and Service, etc.). This event brought university-wide attention to the “Community” pillar in the Roadmap to R2 Success. Attendees learned about KSU’s long-standing and continuous efforts in community outreach and engagement through the presentations of students and faculty.
