About This Cause
Founded in 1992, Apex for Youth delivers possibilities to underserved Asian and immigrant youth in New York City by recruiting volunteers to be positive role models for them. Through its mentoring and educational programs for students from 1st to 12th grade, Apex volunteers guide and inspire youth to become confident young adults who are ready for college and give back to the community. Today Apex serves over 700 children weekly with nearly 8,000 hours of volunteer service a year. There are almost 150,000 Asian students in New York City, which are more students than all of the students in Boston or San Francisco. They represent 14% of students in NYC, yet less than 1% of city and foundation funding goes to causes focusing on the Asian community. Even less goes to youth. Since many assume all Asian students are successful, they do not receive the services they need. The reality of our Asian students is: 1 in 2 are born into poverty 1 in 3 are the only ones who can speak English at home 1 in 4 won't graduate high school on-time or at all Through our programs, our volunteers support and guide youth to become confident young adults who are ready for college and give back to the community.
