EMPOWERING ASIAN AMERICAN HIGH SCHOOLERS ONLINE

Join a nationwide community of Asian American youth and mentors committed to growth, connection, and possibility.

Launched in 2022, the National Virtual Mentoring Program (NVMP) was created to reach youth beyond New York City — especially those who may not have access to spaces where they feel seen, heard, or supported.

Entering high school, youth begin building the skills and supports to pursue futures that reflect their own values, interests, and priorities. NVMP offers consistent, caring mentorship and a community where youth can explore who they are, develop real-world skills, and gain confidence in their ability to navigate what’s ahead.
