About

A Too, Inc. is a non-profit organization incorporated under the laws of the State of New York. Co-founders, Gabriel and Michael Chan, are two civic-minded teenagers aspired to promote voter turnout, especially among Asian Americans.

Researchers have repeatedly shown that family environment plays a crucial role in each child’s development. Asian parents tend to emphasize on academic potentials but seldom spend time discussing social issues with their children. As such, youth of Asian descent flock to career paths such as doctors, engineers, and computer programmers. However, only a handful of them study political science, and even a smaller percentage hold offices in the government. Predictably, voter turnout rates of Asian Americans are the lowest among different ethnic groups. To remedy this situation, Gabe and Michael co-founded A Too to inspire citizens of Asian descent to participate in the political process, by fostering awareness and interests in politics, especially among children and teenagers, through web-based educational resources and partnership with community-based organizations.
