Global Youth Lab

A space by teens, for teens

— where identity, creativity, and heritage come alive.
Youth Lab empowers teenagers to design and lead projects that celebrate Asian culture in contemporary ways. From art and design to storytelling and mentorship, teens become visible cultural creators and leaders.

Youth Creators

Designing the future with Asian aesthetics

Teens curate fashion, art, and cultural projects that reinterpret Eastern heritage with a modern twist. From public showcases to school-based events, they turn traditions into fresh, creative experiences.

Youth Voices

Telling stories that matter.

Teen reporters and media makers document community stories through interviews, photography, and short films — giving voice to Asian-American identity and making teen perspectives heard.

Youth Exchange

Crossing cultures, building belonging.

Exchange programs where teens connect across schools, communities, and cultures. Through dialogue and collaboration, they explore identity and leadership in a global context.

Youth Mentors

Teens guiding kids, culture guiding growth. 

Older teens become mentors, leading camps and workshops that introduce kids to Asian traditions in fun and hands-on ways. This fosters leadership, responsibility, and identity-building.

Special Project For Youth' Mental Health

What is this about?

This project is an initiative by ACHEA Youth Lab, a student-founded organization focused on cross-cultural understanding in Asia. As a part of our 2025 summer research, we are exploring the emotional and mental well-being of Asian youth across different cultural contexts.

We believe mental health should not be a taboo, especially for those growing up between worlds.

Our goal:

To understand the psychological experiences of students with Asian backgrounds and share their voices through a formal report (white paper) to spark awareness, empathy, and action.

Survey Status: Closed

Help Us Understand What It’s Like to Be You.
Are you a student with an Asian cultural background? Do you sometimes feel stuck between different worlds—school, family, culture?

We want to hear your story.

[ASIAN CULTURAL HERITAGE EXCHANGE ASSOCIATION] is conducting a completely anonymous survey to better understand the mental and emotional experiences of Asian youth across the globe. Your voice will help us write a meaningful report to raise awareness and create change.

Take 3–5 minutes to fill this survey:
https://forms.gle/AYe7LiNNtL6y5nea7

Why this matters:

  • You’ll be part of a cross-cultural youth voice project 
  • Your anonymous responses will shape a white paper published this summer 
  • You’ll help schools, parents, and communities better support youth like you
     

Optional: Drop your email at the end to receive a copy of the final white paper.

Thank you for being part of this.

What’s Coming Next?

We will analyze the collected responses in July

A public white paper will be published by August
