Founded in 1992, APEX, seeks to empower youth to be well-rounded, productive members of society by helping them build their self-confidence, explore academic and career goals, develop a sense of community and service, and gain leadership skills. Through one-on one mentoring relationships, educational programs, and social services APEX helps youth overcome the multiple challenges they face, enabling them to cultivate valuable and meaningful relationships. Together, we hope to inspire our youth to create and achieve their goals.

APEX is a 501 (c) 3 nonprofit in New York City dedicated to providing mentoring and educational services to an Asian American youth population. Now in its sixteenth year, APEX has attracted thousands of volunteers and has served thousands of youth, many of whom are now mentors and volunteers themselves.
