Asian American Youth Leadership Development

Welcome to Heritage and Hope

Heritage and Hope is a youth leadership development group dedicated to empowering the next generation of Asian-American youth. We equip future leaders with the skills and self-awareness to confidently develop their identity (both cultural and as leaders), master essential leadership skills, and live out a passion for impacting their community and the world.

School Outreach

We want to empower the local school's Asian American clubs on campus to keep thriving and be funded well.

The values we live by

We lead with purpose, serve with love, and uplift with integrity so every young person can thrive in their identity.

Collaboration

We partner with families, schools, and community leaders to build stronger bridges between generations, cultures, and communities. We believe true change comes when we work together.

Results

Our impact is measured in transformed lives youth who grow in confidence, return to lead, and inspire others to rise. Stories, surveys, and long-term engagement show the fruit of our work.

Excellence

We aim to do everything with intention and care—leading workshops, building relationships, and planning events with the highest standards and deep respect for those we serve.

Innovation

We listen, learn, and evolve. Whether it’s designing fresh leadership summits or launching new storytelling workshops, we stay creative in how we meet youth where they are.

Client Focus

Our “clients” are the students, parents, and leaders we walk with. We listen deeply, respond personally, and tailor our programs to serve their specific identities and needs.

Integrity

We lead with honesty, humility, and love. Rooted in biblical principles, our team holds ourselves to a standard of integrity—doing what’s right even when it’s hard or unseen.

Get Involved

There are great ways to get involved, get developed and contribute! If you're high school or college aged, we have events and workshop opportunities. If you're an adult and looking to be involved, you have volunteer and giving opportunities.
