우리의 약속

전무이사의 편지

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?

우리의 사명

에이펙스 포 유스는 저소득층 및 이민자 가정 출신 아시아계 미국 청소년들이 오늘은 자신의 잠재력발휘하고, 내일은 무궁무진한 가능성의 세상을 열어갈 수 있도록 지원합니다.

Less than 6%

of social service funding goes to the AAPI community in New York City.

Despite Asian Americans making up 18% of the population.

우리의 영향력

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.

우리의 도달 범위

Since our launch in 맨해튼 in 1992, Apex has continued to meet the critical and evolving needs of our community by expanding in-person programming to 브루클린 (2019) and 퀸스 (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:

맨해튼

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.

퀸스

Served youth in 3rd and 4th grade in Flushing through Elementary and athletics programs, offering year-round programming for the first time this year.

브루클린

Served youth from 3rd through 8th grade in Sunset Park, expanding programming this year to include athletics and mentoring programs for 8th graders.

앞으로의 전망

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.

접근 방식

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.

초등학교

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.”

—Sean

Apex volunteer

“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.”

—Wandy

Apex parent

중학교

긍정적인 정체성 형성 및 건강한 관계 구축

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.

— Austin Y.

“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.”

고등학교

주체성 함양 및 미래에 대한 집중

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.”

J.T. Tai Apex Summer Internship Program participant

“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 정신 건강 서비스 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.

77%

of Apex youth reported an increase in their ability to regulate their emotions.

320

were supported through Apex mental health services.

1,200

hours of therapy services were provided to Apex youth.

“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.”

– Ivy Li

Associate Director of Mental Health at Apex

하이라이트

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.

Learn more about the impact behind Family Night ︎ here >

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.

제33회 인스피레이션 어워드 갈라

On April 10, 2025, Apex’s 33rd Inspiration Awards Gala at Cipriani South Street celebrated with the theme of 두려움 없는 세대, featuring honorees ︎ Suni Lee, Olympic gold medalist, and ︎ Joan Shigekawa, former Acting Chairman of the National Endowment for the Arts. ︎ 애슐리 예, former mentee and now Apex Digital Coordinator, also shared her journey of empowerment with the organization. The event raised an impressive $3.1 million, including a record-breaking $1.4 million paddle raise, to help Apex continue to foster intergenerational change.

에이펙스용 에이스

The 14th Annual Aces for Apex event took place on July 26, 2025 at The Skylight at the Refinery, located in the historic Domino Sugar Factory in Williamsburg. The event welcomed more than 580 attendees for an evening of casino games, live entertainment, and community engagement. With donations from more than 20 raffle-prize sponsors and another 20 food and beverage partners, the event raised more than $380,000 to help sustain Apex’s important work.

테이스트 오브 아시아

On October 9, 2024, Taste of Asia celebrated the power of community and support for Asian American youth, bringing New York City’s Asian American community together with more than 40 exceptional restaurants for an inspiring evening of culture, cuisine, and generosity. Led by Simon Kim and co-chairs Wen Zhou, Phillip Lim, and Michael Chung, the event raised nearly $1.4 million to support Apex programs and the Madison Square Park Conservancy.

Apex at the NYC Marathon

The NYC Marathon in November brought together runners from Apex’s Associate Board, volunteers, and staff while raising more than $80,000 to support Apex programs. Their dedication showcased the power of community and commitment, turning every mile into meaningful impact.

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.

— Yaya Yuan
