Empowering young students to grow as confident leaders, compassionate community builders, and engaged voices in American society.
Through community service, dialogue with civic and business leaders, peer-to-peer learning, and hands-on social initiatives, VAY helps youth understand what it means to create meaningful impact. We emphasize both human connection and real-world practice, supporting students as they grow in confidence, communication, and civic awareness.
A future where Asian youth participate fully in shaping their communities, uplift one another with warmth and courage, and lead with integrity, resilience, and purpose.
At VAY, we believe that true leadership begins with having the courage to speak up. Every young person has a unique voice and potential—whether in technology, arts, public service, or social issues. Our goal is to provide platforms where Asian youth can express their ideas, engage with society, and turn their voices into a positive force for warmth, progress, and change.
