Who We Are

Dear Asian Youth (DAY) is an international non-profit organization that is dedicated to uplift and empower young Asians. Through digital media, grassroots initiatives and leadership programs, we advocate for equity, intersectional solidarity, and social change.

At its core, our mission is to amplify underrepresented voices. We recognize that Asian identity isn’t one-size-fits-all—it’s complex, diverse, and deeply intersectional. That’s why we’re here: to share our stories, challenge global narratives, and create space for every experience.
