The Young Adult Service Program (YASP) connects Asian-American high school and college students with summer internships at various community organizations and the offices of local elected officials throughout New York City. Through this program, we have been providing Asian American youth with opportunities to serve their local community and to learn the importance of service since 2001.

To be eligible for YASP, applicants must be Asian-American identifying high school or college students whose school and/or home address is within New York City (Five Boroughs). High school students must be a sophomore or above as of Fall 2023, and college students must be a freshman or above as of Fall 2023.
