Cultivate your inner greatness

We connect students with inspiring AANHPI women and gender-expansive role models who share their stories, wisdom, and guidance. These connections help students see what’s possible and envision their brightest futures.

Why it matters:
Research shows that adolescents with supportive non-parental adults in their lives experience greater psychological well-being, including higher self-esteem and life satisfaction.

Our programs honor the rich diversity of AANHPI cultures while addressing the unique identities and experiences of AANHPI girls and gender-expansive youth. Each program is designed to help students celebrate who they are and thrive in spaces that embrace inclusivity and support.

Why it matters:
AANHPI histories and identities are often overlooked in classrooms and broader society, contributing to feelings of underrepresentation. Culturally responsive programs foster self-esteem, strengthen identity, and help combat invisibility.

Mental health and wellness are at the heart of everything we do. Whether through storytelling workshops or leadership development, our programs provide students with tools to nurture self-awareness, resilience, and emotional growth.

Why it matters:
Suicide is the leading cause of death for AANHPI youth aged 15–24, according to the CDC. Cultural stigma, family expectations, and limited representation in mental health resources make it critical to create spaces where students feel seen, supported, and empowered to prioritize their well-being.

Our programs are created in partnership with the communities we serve, ensuring they are impactful, relevant, and responsive to the lived experiences of our students and their families. By listening to AANHPI youth, we create meaningful opportunities for growth and change.

Why it matters:
Programs designed in collaboration with communities achieve significantly greater impact. Centering student voices ensures that we address real needs while fostering a sense of ownership and empowerment.
