Asian American Voices for Education (AAVEd) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to transforming Georgia’s K-12 classrooms so that all Asian Americans and other students of color are affirmed, valued, and empowered to become community change-makers.
AAVEd works for long-term structural change by promoting a comprehensive U.S. history curriculum, teacher and student leadership, and community advocacy with all Georgia residents who value their students and their right to affirming classrooms.
As a women-founded and women-led organization, AAVEd recognizes that many of the workplace challenges teachers face are deeply gendered, given that nearly 80% of Georgia’s teaching workforce are women. At a time when educators face increasing barriers to teaching diverse perspectives, AAVEd is strengthening teacher training, coalition development, and community education across Georgia.
