projects

DAY projects strives to engage our audience in conversations on societal issues and strengthen the bond of the pan-Asian community. We create opportunities for Asian youth to connect with one another and the leaders in our community to increase civic engagement in marginalized communities. These interactions take the form of webinars, panels, campaigns, toolkits, and other fun virtual events. We hope to spread positivity and acceptance and provide a platform for our international audience to share their experiences.
