The Jeremy Lin Foundation, in partnership with generous donors, launched our Thrive Together Collaborative. We are supporting the work of ~20 community-based organizations, in the highest AAPI youth poverty areas New York City and San Francisco Bay Area, that are dedicated to improving opportunities for underserved AAPI and other youth of color.
In New York City and San Francisco, one in four AAPI youth experience economic barriers– and despite AAPIs comprising 7% of the U.S. population, only 0.3% of all funding goes to AAPI communities.
Over the next five years, the collaborative has committed to supporting programs that improve outcomes and opportunities for underserved AAPI youth in the following ways:
1️⃣ Serving the underserved and marginalized
2️⃣ Supporting mental health
3️⃣ Stewarding youth development
Thank you to our generous donor partners who are aligned in our mission and commitments, and grateful for the joy of supporting together!
Congratulations to the nonprofit cohort in our Thrive Together Collaborative! 🎉 We are so excited to be together on this journey to ensure that all youth can Thrive Together! Stay tuned in the coming weeks to meet the cohort! 💛

Funding together lets us learn from and challenge each other. We hold grantee-requested convenings and facilitated gatherings on topics they want to discuss, so our cohort partners don’t feel like they are carrying this work alone.

Over the years, we have had the privilege of holding more than 200 community listening conversations, meals, and gatherings. Starting with listening helps us to come into the community with a posture of learning.
We are grateful for the community members who have been willing to share what’s top of mind for under-resourced communities, and point us toward the people already doing good work, often without much notice or funding behind them.

As Jeremy Lin was entering the NBA, he and his family created the Jeremy Lin Foundation as a commitment to give back to the community. They knew that whatever came of his basketball career, it would be a gift to be shared and stewarded. Drawing from Jeremy’s own experiences growing up, the Foundation’s mission is to love and support overlooked, under-resourced youth.

The energy in Queens, New York was just as electric as New York City on game night. When I asked @jlinfoundation Thrive Together Collaborative youth what advice they had for the adults in the room, their answer was a powerful reminder: adults need to care for themselves, too. They see the hard work, the heart, and the dedication adults pour into supporting young people — and they want that same care reflected back to the youth program leaders.
I left our New York City Collab Q&A with so much to think about. The future is in good hands with youth who are thoughtful, caring, and deeply community-minded.
Thanks @saya.nyc for hosting our @jlinfoundation Thrive Together Collaborative!

As we reflect on AANHPI Heritage Month, we’re grateful for our partners in the Thrive Together Collaborative and all of the meaningful ways they are impacting the youth in their communities.
Thank you to our partners, and to Brandon, Brenda, Momo, Roberto, Vonnie, Yeshi, Ashwyn, and Seypong, for sharing some personal stories with us throughout May. If you haven’t already, give their interviews a watch and follow the orgs to stay connected! 🫶
Thank you @saya.nyc for hosting the New York Thrive Together Collaborative in Queens for a meaningful youth program leaders’ roundtable, a fun gathering for the youth, and thank you to the leaders from our partner organizations who took the time to join us! 🤝

NY truly has a special place in my heart. It's always a joy to be in community with our @jlinfoundation grantee partners!
Recently in Queens, New York, I heard directly from youth leaders from across the boroughs and it's been tough. The challenges youth face for employment, culturally competent mental health care, and protections for their immigrant families are real.
Despite tough times, the leaders still have hope. They envision a future where youth have all their basic needs met, connect with their cultural identity, can pursue their dreams without limitation and surprise even themselves with what they're capable of.
I'm energized by the convo and the connection, and looking forward to what our Thrive Together Collab will continue to vision and support over the next five years.

Meet Seypong! 🫶 @seadcsf
In San Francisco’s Tenderloin neighborhood, SEADC’s MYEEP program provides a launchpad for youth like Seypong to learn, practice, and hone their leadership capabilities. “As an intern, they would teach us life skills at their workshops everyday. It was great to have that knowledge about how to lead, but I didn’t really know how to actually use it,”Seypong said. “When I first started facilitating as a counselor, it was different from what I learned versus actually practicing it.”In just six months as a counselor, Seypong noticed a change in his confidence, public speaking, and leadership skills.
SEADC gives youth time and space to be intentional about their growth. Seypong said, “I do feel a lot of pressure from everything: family, education, academics, just trying to keep up in this society. But SEADC gave me a place where I can actually slow things down. I feel like if I keep being involved and keep working hard, I’ll be successful in the future and be able to provide and help my family.”

Meet Ashwyn! 🫶 @cacfasap
For the last 3 years, Ashwyn has been deeply involved with CACF’s Asian American Student Advocacy Project (ASAP). The program educates, trains, and equips youth leaders like Ashwyn to be self-aware and informed community leaders by enabling them to contribute to real issues and campaigns impacting their communities, and helps shape youths’ perspective on community.
Ashwyn recalled a research project he completed with CACF, around youth access to mental health services. He said, “In my schol personally, we have two social workers for the whole school: around 500 kids. And believe it or not, that’s actually a really good ratio compared to other public schools in the city. One social worker for 500 to 750 kids means that the social worker cannot create an impactful and meaningful relationship with each of the kids. They’re overworked.”
Ashwyn reflected, “By being introduced to the reality of AAPI communities, and how policy decisions that seem abstract on paper can upend someone’s daily life, I’ve realized that there’s a whole new world out there that I didn’t previously see before joining CACF. We need to think and move beyond the individual and our individual experiences to really focus on the larger systematic issues.”

Meet Yeshi! 🫶 @saya.nyc
SAYA has been a part of Yeshi’s life since he first stepped through SAYA’s gym doors as a high schooler. Fifteen years later, as a member of SAYA’s finance team, he now finds time to impact students in his own way. “I don’t want youth to feel like I’m a teacher,” Yeshi said. “The same way that I never held back from sharing with [my mentor] Suhail, these kids don’t hold back either. When they want advice, I give it to them how I would want it—but of course with grace and with love.”
Yeshi also shared about his friends during his time participating at SAYA. “In the safe space that SAYA created, my friends and I began opening up about insecurities and mental health struggles that none of us had ever shared. Hearing those stories revealed sides of each other we never expected — unfiltered, authentic, and genuinely ourselves. It definitely made us closer, for sure.”

Meet Vonnie! 🫶 @scdc_sf
Vonnie, who grew up with the Samoan Community Development Center, now serves as SCDC’s 3T’s Program Coordinator. “3T’s stands for Tupulaga Talavou Tula’i, which translates to Youth Generation Rise Up,” Vonnie said. In this role, Vonnie encourages youth to learn about their culture through dance, song, and language. And in addition to the cultural education, Vonnie and the team at SCDC care deeply for students’ families and their systems of support by checking on students’ academics and providing a whole host of programs for Samoan and other Pacific Islander families.
Amid an exciting milestone year for SCDC, concerns remain about looming city budget cuts. “We don’t know how that will impact our organizations,” said Vonnie. But even in times of uncertainty, “what brings me hope is seeing youth come still,” Vonnie said. “SCDC has impacted my life in a great way. 10, 15 years ago, I never would have seen myself doing this”

Meet Roberto! 🫶 @hopehorizonepa
For 18 years, Roberto has been a pillar of the Hope Horizon community in East Palo Alto and Roberto has seen both his children and grandchildren participate in Hope Horizon’s programs. Roberto remembers days when his daughter didn’t want to join Hope Horizon programming, “She didn’t want to come because I was making her do it. But now that her kids are here, she sees the impact that we’re having on youth. Even if she didn’t see the impact for herself when she was here.”
While much has changed in the community, over 18 years, Hope Horizon’s work has not. Roberto said, “We have spiritual programs for middle school and high school youth... and the love and affection in the way they build their own community goes a long way. The program leaders lending an ear to listen to some of our kids, they go through situations at home that we’re not even aware of.”
Hope Horizon’s impact is holistic, spanning academic, spiritual, and emotional support. Roberto recalled, “Once, there was a young teenager having issues at home, there was crime in the family, and she lost both of her brothers. At first, she was having problems where she was depressed, didn’t want to talk to or open up to anybody, but inside she was screaming for help. Over time, she started opening up to our staff, and even though she lived through a situation she won’t be able to forget, our team eventually helped her move on. Last time I heard, she graduated high school and moved out to the East Coast. We do see her on social media sometimes. She’s doing good.”
