We are overjoyed and humbled by the incredible turnout and support at our 37th Anniversary Celebration Block Party this past Sunday in Chinatown!

The opening of the "Tradition Meets Modernity" Children's Art Exhibition at the Portsmouth Square Garage in Chinatown was recently launched. This annual art competition showcases the incredible talent and creativity of young artists aged 4 to 16 from the Bay Area.

Families and kids from our Chinatown community came together in a big way to celebrate the opening of our brand new, spacious Chinatown Family Resource Center!

We're thrilled to receive some wonderful feedback on the impact our Friendship Social Emotional Learning Group intern, Alexander Sebastian, has had at Gordon J. Lau school. As the teacher noted, "Alexander has forged deep connections with [the students], enabling them to establish friendships and feel supported in ways that have made a significant difference in their lives."

For several years, APAFSS has partnered with JCYC to run the MYEEP in Visitacion Valley. Throughout the year, we have over 30 high school students participating in our MYEEP. This summer, we're excited to have over 70 high school students joining our summer MYEEP. Participants have started their comprehensive Pre-Employment Training and are now getting ready to start working.

We were thrilled to provide some tickets to our families for the powerful "Soul of the City" performance at the Presidio Theatre held on June 2. This multimedia music drama, blending Japanese, Chinese, and Afro-Asian theatrical forms, took our families on a poignant journey exploring the Asian American experience

Our Visitacion Valley Strong Families team was honored to table at this vibrant event, which brought families together for performances, delicious food, and engaging activities.

The weather was perfect as families and friends gathered in Golden Gate Park to enjoy Asian cuisine, captivating cultural performances, and fun interactive activities.

We had a wonderful time at our "Make Your Own Fortune Cookie" event, thanks to the generous support of Golden Gate Fortune Cookies! Our families and kids had a blast crafting their own personalized fortune cookies.

In honor of AAPI Heritage Month, we hosted a special movie screening and panel discussion for our APAFSS community. Families joined us for a viewing of the heartwarming Hong Kong film "The Lyricist Wannabe" - part of the acclaimed CAAMFEST film series.
