HAYA empowers young Hindu Americans to confidently embrace their heritage through community, leadership, and Seva (selfless service), fostering cultural pride and inspiring future leaders. So, how do we bring this mission to life?
Our approach focuses on three core sub-teams:
Building meaningful connections starts with shared experiences. Through vibrant in-person bonding activities, cultural events, and social gatherings, we create a warm, welcoming space where young Hindus can foster a sense of belonging and form lifelong friendships.

Through collaborative curiosity driven discussions, both in-person and online, we delve into sacred scriptures and teachings, deepening our understanding of Hindu philosophy. With the guidance of mentors, we connect ancient wisdom with modern perspectives.

Rooted in Seva, we uplift others through volunteering, fundraising, and community-driven initiatives that create tangible impacts both locally and remotely.

Members are invited to engage in any of our three sub-teams at their own pace and level of interest. Participation in one area is completely optional and does not require involvement in others. For instance, if you prefer joining virtual educational discussions, there's no expectation to take part in service initiatives unless you choose to do so.
