At the end of the video, Joel offers a thoughtful wrap-up, encouraging the team and sharing his hope for the continued growth of Asian American Stories.


This project is more than just volunteering—it’s a journey of leadership, connection, and storytelling. Through every meeting, task, and shared experience, our young participants are not only contributing to the community but also discovering their own voices and developing skills that will stay with them for life.


We believe that when youth are given the opportunity to lead and express themselves, they create real impact—not just in their surroundings, but within themselves. Asian American Stories is proud to offer a meaningful platform where ideas can flourish, cultures can connect, and stories can be heard across generations.


Together, we are building more than a program—we are nurturing a space for growth, empathy, and lasting community bonds.
