The Dear Asian Youth Chapter Program is the extension of Dear Asian Youth empowering young leaders in their schools and communities to celebrate Asian youth through discussion, collaboration, and action. While creating an international network of dedicated youth, Dear Asian Youth strives to support young leaders in creating local change, equipping DAY chapters with the proper tools and resources to do so.

Our chapters take a piece of Dear Asian Youth back to their own communities — transforming their homes to be more engaged and accepting. With the DAY Chapter Program, we hope to provide local changemakers with the skills and power to influence and affect the world around them.

How it works

How it works

Over the next few years, the Chapter's program is transitioning to an Affiliate structure, where States within the US and countries outside of the US operate as affiliates of Dear Asian Youth. 

Currently, our chapters are supported by a committee of regional managers and regional leads. In this new format, each affiliate would have an Executive Board, including an Executive Director, and all existing chapters within an affiliate could still function as local chapters – what changes is that they now report directly to the affiliate instead of regional managers.

The Affiliate Structure’s purposes include catering location-specific support to chapters, providing non-U.S.-based chapters the ability to receive the non-profit designation, allowing for executive boards to direct grassroots advocacy and campaigns for their chapters to get involved in, connecting DAY chapters with wider social justice coalitions in their state or country and to increase the sustainability of the chapter’s program.
