Our Mission and Values

H.AAPI is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization with the mission of helping the AAPI community thrive through the implementation of networking, programs, resources, and tools.

H.AAPI is a vessel for the growing needs of the AAPI community, especially students, young professionals, and working professionals. We work to put together accessible, affordable, flexible, one-of-a-kind events, programs, workshops, and webinars that are easy to join, and made just for our community. We hope to be a bridge for students across various stages of life, fields, interests, hobbies, and professional goals to engage, exchange information, and encourage collaboration, with a primary goal of each person walking away from our events having either learned something new or earned a new long-lasting connection.
