Create space. Invest in Asian American girls.

Create space. Invest in Asian American girls.

Many of us grew up wishing spaces like this existed

Your gift creates identity-affirming spaces for Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) girls and gender-expansive youth. Rooted in mentorship, community-based learning, and early leadership development during the years when belonging matters most.

This is how power becomes visible.
