Mission Statement: Preserve cultural identity while supporting social integration into American society to develop the next generation of leaders and visionaries.

Authentic development and sustainability of societal values can occur only in a culture that supports fundamental youth development. We believe that accomplishing the latter requires a focus on education, passion, determination, discipline and structure. Our programs are geared towards instilling these values in order to promote self-confidence, maturity and courage.

We aim to cultivate well-rounded individuals by embracing cultural identity and providing growth experiences. Our mentorship model allows youth to participate in forums and learn from each other. Through community involvement in a range of activities including volunteering, leadership and cultural events, we work to connect Telugu youth and help build strong relationships.

The 13th ATA Convention & Youth Conference provides an arena to showcase our unique cultural and leadership programs. The exciting entertainment events present an opportunity to interact and network with students and young adults from across the world. It is our hope that Telugu youth across America, Europe, India and other parts join our program to experience the multitude of events and activities. 

Our core values are our beliefs in how our members interact with each other. They represent our guiding principles and lay a foundation for our organizational growth.
