APA Gives Back 

APA Gives Back offers a way for APA 2026 attendees to support local organizations that align with APA’s goals. 

This year, APA is making a $5,000 donation to Kid Power. This Washington, DC–based nonprofit empowers DC youth to lead and create positive change in their communities. Founded in 2002, the organization centers youth voice, strengths, and agency through hands-on learning experiences that build confidence, leadership skills, and civic engagement.
