Apex for Youth Inc

Since 1992, Apex for Youth has empowered Asian American youth from low-income and immigrant families in New York City to unlock their potential and a world of possibility in active pursuit of a more equitable future.

Apex cultivates transformative relationships to foster positive self-identity, connections to community, and long-term growth. Our programs leverage an inter-generational network of support systems so youth are encouraged to create positive change for themselves and their community:

Athletics programs improve youth health and well-being by connecting students to a community of positive role models and physical activities that foster teamwork, sportsmanship, communication, and leadership skills.

College & Career Success programs connect high school and college students with the tools, resources, and community of support they need to overcome external barriers to their success.

Elementary Enrichment programs encourage K through 5th-grade students to explore themes of identity, community, and service via hands-on activities alongside peers and volunteers in small, close-knit groups.

Mental Health services foster safety, trust, and open communication via group and individual counseling while training families, schools, volunteers, and staff to better support the emotional well-being of our youth.

Mentoring programs support the mental, emotional, and social needs of middle and high school students by pairing them with caring adult role models that encourage youth throughout their entire Apex journey.
