Apex 由五个朋友于 1992 年在纽约唐人街创立，当时只有 $2,000 美元的微薄预算。如今，我们的根基和影响力得到了进一步加强，总部设在克里斯蒂街（Chrystie Street）。
随着我们影响力的扩大，我们认识到布鲁克林是一个需求巨大、可用服务有限、社区合作伙伴强大的地区，因此我们首次将业务扩展到曼哈顿以外的地区。
Apex 在皇后区开展试点活动和计划，在该地区建立联系和社区，纽约市有一半的低收入青年居住在该地区，但支持性服务仍然匮乏。
在大流行病期间，我们发现了更大的需求，因此推出了针对高中生的 "全国虚拟指导计划 "和针对小学生的 "与 Apex 一起阅读"，使我们能够接触到那些没有机会接触 Apex 的青少年。

At Apex, we combine impactful mentorship with access to critical resources that would not have otherwise been available to Asian American youth from low-income backgrounds. From mentors and therapists to athletic coaches and career guides, these transformative relationships with caring adults create systems of support to help our youth thrive and pursue futures without limits. Throughout our programs, we provide different forms of mentorship and mental health services tailored to the unique needs of our youth based on their developmental stage.

Apex for Youth, originally called APEX, was founded in New York’s Chinatown in 1992 by five friends who saw that Asian American youth were lacking the support they needed to thrive. With a shoestring budget of $2,000, Apex was launched as a volunteer-led mentoring program to inspire youth to expand their horizons and envision what was possible for their lives.
Today, Apex is one of the largest organizations in the country serving primarily Asian American youth. The organization supports thousands of youth across three New York City boroughs and nationally through remote programming.
“A group of Apex students and mentors from the organization’s early days.”
