Helping build a thriving Greater Rochester Asian/Pacific Islander community.
Although the Greater Rochester Area (GRA) doesn't necessarily have the highest population of Asians/Pacific Islanders, it's hard, if not impossible, to gauge the real material health and needs of the community without some fundamental data, starting with small businesses.

Although the Greater Rochester Area (GRA) doesn't necessarily have the highest population of Asians/Pacific Islanders, it's hard, if not impossible, to gauge the real material health and needs of the community without some fundamental data, starting with small businesses.
The need for more comprehensive, inclusive, intentional, and accessible information isn't just for the current community, but for the community that will see the fastest growth in the next coming decades.
Social infrastructure is one of the greatest tools for preserving culture - especially for marginalized communities - and for promoting community and equity.

It must be noted that, although Pacific Islanders will be equally pursued and welcomed, they cannot be confused as "Asian." Similarly, “API” cannot be used interchangeably with "Asian," which would alienate this marginalized group. We are making similar intentional inclusions for West, Central, North, South, Southeast, East Asians, and will all be identified as “Asian” and equally welcomed to participate.
We are a volunteer group behind this endeavour. Our founding team is comprised of Jess Cheng (IG @jesscheng.og) and Liz Chiang (IG @crumbs_and_stuff). We meet monthly to collect and review data for the site.
Rochester Young Asians hosts virtual crafternoons, coffee socials , publishes an annual Rochester AAPI Artist Zine, and hosts other networking events.
