VISION
To foster people-to-people partnerships, particularly in the education sector, between Australia and the Philippines. This will upstart an exchange in training and up-skilling students between two countries, to create sustainable friendships, cultural exchange, bilateral trade, and long-term investment.
To create long-lasting connections, beneficial to the economic growth between Australia and the Philippines, via the provision of a support system within the youth. We strive to fully establish and run APYP in WA for the next year and to expand nationally within the next 3 years. This is to ensure there is adequate provision of assistance needed in cultivating the new and growing generations of entrepreneurs and leaders within Australia.

We are composed of driven and passionate young individuals to bridge the gap between Australia and the Philippines. Our members come from diverse backgrounds and are dedicated towards our mission of fostering cross-cultural understanding and exchange.
