From our founding to our impact, discover how Heart Quest is making a difference in youth development and community engagement.
Heart Quest Inc. is a student-led nonprofit organization founded in July 2024, based in Flushing and Long Island, New York. Since our inception, we've been dedicated to fostering youth development through purposeful service and community engagement.
In just over a year, we've successfully launched a variety of projects centered on children's growth and well-being — helping youth learn, create, and connect through hands-on service and creativity.
Our team continues to expand, with more and more passionate individuals joining us, both online and in person. We believe that child development is not only about physical health, but also about emotional and psychological well-being.
That's why we are committed to raising mental health awareness and encouraging conversations that support holistic growth.
One of our most meaningful initiatives is partnering with local families and community groups to organize outings and life experience activities for local children, such as 1 dollar challange, seminar, and community explorations that let kids learn, make friends, and feel the joy of life through real-world interactions.
These activities encourage children to step out of their daily routines, connect with nature and their neighbors, and develop practical skills while having fun. We believe that these simple yet precious experiences lay a solid foundation for their healthy growth.

Heart Quest JourneyDiscover how we're building bridges, creating connections, and inspiring change
Through interactive seminars, workshops, and cultural exchanges, we create safe spaces where young minds can explore, question, and grow. Our events are more than just gatherings—they're platforms for understanding, empathy, and genuine connection.
From mental health awareness sessions to career exploration workshops, every event is designed to spark meaningful conversations and build lasting relationships within our community.
We guide young people through transformative experiences—from city exploration adventures to hands-on volunteer work. These journeys teach responsibility, empathy, and the profound impact of giving back to our community.
Every experience is carefully crafted to help youth discover their potential, understand their role in society, and develop the leadership skills that will shape their future.
Through community celebrations, intergenerational connections, and cultural co-creation, we spread hope and kindness throughout our neighborhoods. Every smile shared, every story told, every moment of understanding creates ripples of positive change.
We believe that small acts of compassion can transform communities, and we're committed to being the catalyst for that transformation, one connection at a time.
"Every young person has the power to change the world. Our mission isn't just about organizing events—it's about nurturing the belief that kindness, empathy, and genuine connection can bridge any gap, heal any wound, and build a future we can all be proud of."
— Phoebe Li, Founder
Heart Quest was born from a simple yet profound belief: that when young people are given the tools, the space, and the encouragement to make a difference, they will. Our team is more than an organization—we're a family united by the conviction that every act of kindness matters, every connection counts, and every young person deserves the chance to discover their potential to create positive change.
