About Dear Asian Youth

Dear Asian Youth (DAY) is an international non-profit organization 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.

  • Advocacy & Community Building — A global platform driving real-world change through activism and leadership.
  • Dear Asian Generation Podcast (formerly Dear Asian Girl) — sparks conversations by exploring identity, activism, and culture through the lens of Asian experiences. See our podcast at /podcast.
  • Publications & Creative Expression — 400+ pieces, including essays, poetry, and zines, showcasing diversity and holistic Asian representation. Explore publications at /literature.
