To commemorate Asian and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, Vans partnered with Get Lit - Words Ignite, a local non-profit whose mission is to increase literacy, empower youth, and inspire communities through poetry. As a brand that stands for creative expression, we decided to uplift the voices of four young Asian American poets, Jelina Hendrickson, Afrah Alam, Della Dragon, and Gordon Ip. Their voices weren’t edited or censored.

Additionally, Vans remains committed to supporting local communities, and will also be donating to the Asian Mental Health Collective, a non-profit organization with a mission to normalize and de-stigmatize mental health within the Asian community.
