Upcoming Events

Check out our list of upcoming events, and come on out and have fun with us. Don't forget that we have a monthly Meetup on third Wednesday of every month.

APIQWTC provides opportunities for Asian & Pacific Islander queer women and transgender people to socialize, network, build community, engage in inter-generational organizing, and increase community visibility.

We are a fun, welcoming, multi-generational group of Asian & Pacific islander queer women and transgender people in the Bay Area, who are building community together…

We are always looking to partner and support events and activities with other organizations and individuals to serve the Asian Pacific Islander Queer Women and Transgender community and our allies. Check out how to contact us! Also, since we are a grass-roots organization run solely by VOLUNTEERS, everything happens with your help. Please contact us if you can graciously make yourself available. WE NEED YOU!!!

The APIQWTC scholarship supports queer API women and transgender people in their pursuit of technical/professional training or higher education. The scholarship hopes to recognize those who are active in the community and encourage future leaders. APIQWTC will be awarding scholarships of $3,500 to three Asian/Pacific Islander lesbian, bisexual, or queer women or transgender individuals pursuing technical/professional training or an undergraduate/graduate degree.
