The organization, inspired by the famous words attributed to Julius Caesar, offers a unique resource platform for youth to connect and grow beyond their local communities.

Hanson L. Yan, the founder of Triple V, who like many of his peers experienced difficulties as a result of the isolation associated with the pandemic, recognized the importance of social connectivity for teens and identified a need for collective support among high school students.

Motivated by a passion for charity work and a desire to make a positive impact, Hanson conceptualized a platform where high school students could connect in a supportive community and access resources to help them face their challenges collaboratively and flourish. Understanding the critical role of social connections, Hanson focuses on dismantling the barriers that limit underprivileged youths from realizing their full potential. He aims to fill the gaps in social and mental support for high school students. Translating his visionary platform into reality, Hanson co-founded Triple V as a non-profit organization along with Manyi Zhang, who provides 15 years of experience in nonprofit management.

Triple V’s program gives high school students the opportunity to share their stories through a video interview, encouraging those who have faced and overcome obstacles to reach out. These interviews are then shared through the Triple V platform, linking the students with support resources as well as with other students with similar challenges, providing them with encouragement, a sense of community and practical tools to help them move forward.

Our foundation originated from a young person's idea and initiative. As we are in the early stages, we are looking for young individuals with innovative ideas to drive positive change.
