The Asian American Initiative strives, through action and education, to promote Asian American advocacy on the MIT campus and beyond. Our club aims to provide a safe space to discuss the building blocks and facets of Asian American identity, create a platform to bring light to issues affecting the Asian American community, and improve the Asian American experience on and off campus, while supporting other marginalized groups. Our club stands in solidarity and allyship with other marginalized groups, with founding beliefs against oppressive systems such as racism, homophobia, xenophobia, classism, ableism, and sexism.

Mission
The MIT Ribotones is a music service group that aims to use music as a means of community service in the greater Boston community and beyond. We are string/piano/wind players, vocalists, and chamber groups (e.g., trios, quartets, sextets, octets) who love to play volunteer recitals at local venues such as hospitals, nursing homes, long-term care facilities, and more, delivering quality music to the residents. Our primary goal is to bring the joy of music free of charge to those who may have limited access to live performances, no matter their prior experience with music.
