আমাদের অঙ্গীকার
নির্বাহী পরিচালকের চিঠি
FY2025 was a particularly special year — one that required extraordinary teamwork, love, resilience, and courage by our entire team at Apex for Youth. Despite an uncertain economic and political landscape, as well as my own personal health challenges, we served more youth and families in NYC than ever before. We delivered the strongest program outcomes in our history, and we launched a strategic planning process to lay the roadmap for sustainable growth and maximum impact for the next five years.
For me, this year proved to be one of the most challenging and rewarding in my 14 years at Apex. During the fall of 2024, I was diagnosed with an aggressive lymphoma, a type of cancer. As my medical treatment plan quickly came together, so did the plan among our team at Apex: Our staff, Board, and Associate Board quickly rallied to offer me love and support and jump in where they could.
It was a gift to be able to start my treatment feeling confident that my team would seamlessly continue our important work to serve low-income and immigrant Asian American youth. It was freeing to be reminded to take as much time as I needed. I have so much gratitude to my executive assistant, Jenn, and my senior leadership team — Yaya, Wendy, Kim, and Pavan — who stepped in to support my work with love and care so I could step out as needed.
Fortunately, I felt well enough to continue working. I was soon in remission and continue to be healthy today. I drew much of my strength in my healing from both our Apex community and the deep sense of purpose that our mission gives me.
That purpose I’ve always felt at Apex only deepened. During my treatment, I reflected on how much I had — an amazing support system, access to critical resources, the ability to navigate a complicated situation — in contrast to what so many lack. I was reminded of the absolute necessity of our work, addressing systemic gaps that exist for our youth and families through the essential care and web of support we provide at Apex.
More than ever, I recognize how truly life-changing our community can be for our youth, our families, and each other when we need it most. Thank you for being part of it. I am truly grateful to carry our mission forward together, on the precipice of so much to come.

THE NEED FOR APEX FOR YOUTH?
আমাদের লক্ষ্য
Apex for Youth স্বল্প-আয় এবং অভিবাসী পরিবার থেকে আসা এশীয়-আমেরিকান তরুণদের আজ তাদের সম্ভাবনা উন্মোচনে এবং আগামীতে সম্ভাবনায় ভরা এক বিশ্ব গড়তে সক্ষম করে।

Despite Asian Americans making up 18% of the population.
আমাদের প্রভাব
In New York City, Asian American youth face compounded barriers shaped by poverty, language access, racial invisibility, and underinvestment. Many grow up shouldering adult responsibilities early, while lacking safe spaces, trusted mentors, and culturally-responsive support systems.
Apex was built in response to these realities. Our programs exist because without intervention, too many Asian American youth are left to navigate these challenges alone.
When youth are consistently seen, supported, and invested in through culturally-responsive care, the outcomes change — measurably and meaningfully.
Apex is creating a world without limits, for our youth and our community.

আমাদের নাগাল
Since our launch in ম্যানহাটন in 1992, Apex has continued to meet the critical and evolving needs of our community by expanding in-person programming to ব্রুকলিন (2019) and কুইন্স (2023), as well as nationwide through our virtual mentoring program (2020).
In FY25, we continued to both strengthen and expand our programming in NYC and beyond:
ম্যানহাটন
Served youth from Kindergarten through 12th grade in the Lower East Side, Chinatown, and Financial District, as well as hosted more community events than ever for youth and families at our Lower East Side community space.
কুইন্স
Served youth in 3rd and 4th grade in Flushing through Elementary and athletics programs, offering year-round programming for the first time this year.
ব্রুকলিন
Served youth from 3rd through 8th grade in Sunset Park, expanding programming this year to include athletics and mentoring programs for 8th graders.

সামনের দিকে তাকিয়ে
Apex is at a pivotal moment. In response to growing demand for our programs and the changing realities facing low-income Asian American youth, we launched a strategic planning process to guide the organization over the next five to ten years. Our focus is clear: To grow our impact where it is most needed, while preserving the depth, care, and community trust that have always been at the heart of our work.
আমাদের পদ্ধতি
Apex’s culturally-responsive programs combine impactful mentorship with access to critical resources, creating long-term, meaningful change for our youth. We define long-term success for our youth through the ABC’s of agency, belonging, and confidence:
Agency
Apex shows youth that there is no one path to success, empowering them to envision a limitless future with the resources and connections to get there.
Belonging
The Apex community of caring adults uplifts shared identities to build transformative relationships with youth that combat isolation and disconnection.
Confidence
Apex youth move from surviving to thriving through our programming that helps them embrace their strengths and identities.

Exploring interests and developing a sense of belonging
Beginning our youth’s journey, Apex elementary programs focus on laying a strong foundation from kindergarten through 5th grade by encouraging exposure to new experiences and connections with friends and mentors. Trusted adults and peers form a supportive community, stepping in when caregivers may have limited time available due to long work hours.

“To have someone not their age, who is also not their family member, be able to talk to them is important, because sometimes they just want to share things that they don’t think their mom or dad or aunt or uncle or grandparents or cousins understand. We can give them a safe space, a space in which they can share those thoughts. Even though it might not be a lot to us in terms of hearing it, it can mean a lot to them for just saying it and to be able to express what they feel.”

“I grew up in this community. I thrived, and I was able to take that outside of my community and be who I am because of the confidence that I had. I’m seeing the same thing with my kids, because Apex is providing a space for them to not only thrive but to learn about our community and other communities as well. Apex is a place where you feel like you belong. This is its own community. This is really the heart to me. And to pass that along to my children, it means so much.”

Middle school is a critical period for the shaping of identity as youth gain confidence, form meaningful connections, and grow into their emerging selves with the support of trusted mentors and peers. Workshops that address topics of identity, emotions, and stereotypes give youth space to practice a growth mindset and build community with others as they identify their own strengths.

“With [other] mentoring programs, you often feel like you are on different teams, that you’re trying to bring someone along as opposed to collaborating. Apex has been an entirely different experience, and one of the most rewarding parts of my weekends [has been] getting to spend time with Austin and the other kids in the basketball program in Chinatown. I had an older brother, and he was very instrumental in my growth as a person during those formative years of middle school, so it’s been incredibly rewarding.”

Apex’s high school programs provide youth with the resources and knowledge to make their own decisions about the future, showing them that “success” can be defined in many ways. Through hands-on experiences, dedicated mentoring, and culturally-responsive guidance, youth are empowered to make informed choices and gain confidence in defining their own path. Programs center on amplifying youth voices and empowering them to speak up, take action on issues they care about, and shape their own futures.

“Coming from a different country and having to pick up a new language and watching [Jia He] tackle all these challenges has been really inspiring for me, and I think there’s a lot [of learnings] about tackling adversity that you can apply to your daily life. From seventh and eighth grade, I didn’t hear [him] speak one full sentence of English. And then [he] comes back from the summer into ninth grade, and all of a sudden [he’s] speaking in full sentences and pretty fluently. I can always learn from something like that.
It’s really empowering and rewarding to help someone — just open up the world, explore new opportunities, introduce them to new things. I get a lot out of watching other people grow and develop. Anything that’s worth doing is going to require commitment, and now we’re in this together. Building trust is a function of repetition, and you’ve got to spend some time to build that relationship and that foundation.”

“My Apex journey began in elementary school when I first joined by playing in the summer basketball league. It was a pivotal moment in my basketball journey, giving me one of my first real opportunities to play in a competitive league. Most importantly, starting this sport alongside others from my community helped me feel comfortable, supported, and excited to grow my passion for the game. Through that experience, I built lifelong friendships, learned the value of teamwork, and discovered my competitive drive — all while being part of a community and culture that uplifted me. As a former collegiate athlete, I know the importance of giving back to the community that gave so much to me. Keep fighting for your dreams, because dreams are worth chasing.”

THE NEED FOR:
MENTAL HEALTH SUPPORT
As Asian American youth navigate an increasingly uncertain future, Apex মানসিক স্বাস্থ্য পরিষেবা support their mental and emotional well-being. Recognizing the complex challenges that our community faces — including intergenerational trauma, poverty, complicated family dynamics, and isolation — Apex provides compassionate, culturally-responsive care. Apex helps young people to heal and strengthen family connections.
Asian American youth are the least likely ethnic group in the U.S. to receive mental health services.
Depression among Asian American adolescents has surged since the onset of the pandemic, with 66% reporting worsening symptoms.
Asian American young adults are the only racial group with suicide as their leading cause of death.
Through the work of licensed mental health providers, Apex mental health services continue to address the unique needs of the community through individual therapy, peer support groups, crisis management, Family Nights, and community events.

“For our monthly Family Night series, we promote emotional awareness, build communication skills, and expose families to community resources. But my biggest goal is actually to create a sense of joy. Our families face so many daily struggles that they often forget that they can connect with moments of joy. We use these moments to connect them with their inner self and with their children, and to take away that joy is contagious and can be used in their parent-child relationship.
We create joint activities where parents and their children have shared language for communication. Those are the moments that create stories to share as a family and are the foundation for intergenerational and collective healing.”

This year, we touched more lives within and beyond NYC than ever before, and the impact of our programs has never been stronger.
Record volunteer growth
Volunteers are the backbone of Apex’s work. Over the past year, our community grew to 1,000 dedicated volunteers through intentional relationship-building. From community events to Volunteer Appreciation Night, we created meaningful spaces for volunteers to connect with youth, celebrate their impact, and deepen their engagement with Apex’s mission. This growing network strengthened our programs, expanded our reach, and reinforced the power of community in supporting youth and families.
Expanded support for Apex families
Apex expanded its family services by launching monthly Family Night workshops for youth in Queens, helping immigrant parents and children navigate bicultural challenges together. Tailored parent and youth sessions culminate in shared discussions, fostering understanding and connection while laying the groundwork for continued growth within Apex.

Partnering for community impact
Apex strengthened collaboration with community partners by engaging more than 1,300 youth throughout the year with events such as Field Day, Winter Soulstice, Book Fair, and the For the Culture AAPI Heritage Month celebration. These partnerships provided meaningful entry points for engagement — 40% of participating youth experienced Apex for the first time through these events — while also deepening community ties.

Letter from the Director of Programs
As we close this year’s Annual Report, as Director of Programs I’ve been reflecting on how far we’ve come. Five years ago, we served 900 youth; this year, 2,700. Yet what drives me is not only growing to serve more students, but more importantly, the constancy of our care. Even as our programs, partnerships, and visibility have expanded, the heart of Apex remains the same: deep, transformative relationships with young people, whether that transformation unfolds over many years or in a single meaningful moment.
This year, the power of community has come into sharper focus through our expanded partnerships and events. Our annual Field Day event in Sunset Park brought partners and resources to a particularly under served neighborhood in Brooklyn. Winter Soulstice created space to address the critical topic of mental health, centering youth voices at a time of great uncertainty. Our For the Culture AAPI Heritage Month celebration brought us together to stand against hatred while honoring the beauty of our community. These events allowed us to meet youth where they are, celebrate our culture, and spark relationships that often become enduring cornerstones of our work. Apex’s ripple effect is profound and far-reaching.
And there is still so much work to be done. This growing need makes us even more determined as we enter the year, ready to reach more youth than ever before. We are focused on both the opportunity and the responsibility to expand our impact. With your generous support, we cannot wait to continue building limitless futures — for our youth, with our youth.
Thank you for being part of this transformative community.
