“…Being part of US-Asia’s ASEAN Youth Development Program this summer has been incredibly eye-opening and transformative.”

“... The relationships and networks I’ve built here will undoubtedly shape my career and personal development. I look forward to applying these experiences and insights to make meaningful contributions to my community and beyond.”

“... Prior to USAI, I had not established any connections with people from these various backgrounds. As a first-generation college student and a child of Indonesian immigrants, it can feel overwhelming navigating a life after college and figuring out what I want to do with my life. However, thanks to USAI’s professional developing and networking opportunities, I’ve gained more confidence in myself as I’ve built a new community that I can rely on for support.”
