A major highlight of our annual Apex for Youth Inspiration Awards Gala is the chance to see a student speaker take the stage and share their Apex journey.
This year, high school mentee Matthew Mau’s story illuminated the transformative power of mentorship and captivated the crowd. His journey alongside his Apex mentor, Fulton Hou, underscored the strength of their bond, providing hope and resilience in the face of personal struggles.
