In honor of Asian Pacific American Heritage Month, we joined 170+ organizations to participate in Give in May, a giving campaign to support nonprofits across the nation who are dedicated to addressing the needs of the AAPI community and raising awareness about issues AAPIs face.

Celebrate APAHM by making a gift to VAYLA! Donating to VAYLA means amplifying AAPI voices and creating opportunities for community conversations around anti-Black racism, solidarity, and intersectionality through our AAPI Rising program. Your contribution supports our commitment to fortifying pathways of intentional leadership anchored deeply in anti-racism, equity, and radical joy.
