About ASPIRE’s Virtual Community

ASPIRE’s virtual Slack community is open to all self-identifying Asian American womxn and allies and serves as a space to meet others, share resources, ask for help, celebrate each other, and learn about upcoming ASPIRE and community events. Through our virtual community, we hope to foster a stronger sense of togetherness, belonging, and support for the Asian American womxn’s community.

Programming can come in many forms, including but not limited to facilitating community discussions, sharing resources and opportunities, welcoming and introducing members to each other in creative ways, and generally keeping the platform “alive and buzzing”. They will also coordinate with other ASPIRE in the Community team members to find opportunities where the Slack community can build on planned ASPIRE in the Community events and programs.
