About Us
The Association of Hmong Students was established in 1996. What started as a support group for four Hmong students at UCLA would later become an organization that fought for and initiated UCLA's first Hmong course. Since, AHS has put on culture shows and cultural exhibitions to raise awareness about the Hmong in the UCLA and other communities. The organization has also hosted advocacy and high school conferences and has collaborated with other Hmong organizations throughout California.
