This is an excellent opportunity to show our dedication to these adopted children many of whom are from Asia in helping them to adjust and learn about their culture.

YAPA has held annual bbq’s with the families of Dillon International since YAPA’s founding year in 2009. Recognizing the positive influence that young Asian professionals can have on young children particularly those who were adopted from Asia, YAPA has proudly participated in various activities to support the ongoing efforts of Dillon programs. Dillon International not only facilitates adoptions from all over the world, but also extends support activities and programs to the children and families well beyond the infant and childhood years. It is in the critical years of self-awareness and identity development of these children that YAPA believes we can help. If you are interested in becoming more involved, please be sure to let us know by emailing info@yapastl.org.
