community
aob aims to build up and bring together the asian community here in boston. we’re like a big group of friends you never knew you had! whether you grew up here, just moved, or are simply looking for a space where you feel at home, we’re here to connect, support, and grow together. our community thrives on shared experiences, cultural pride, and friendships that go beyond just being "asian"—because we know that identity is broad, complex, and worth celebrating in all its forms.
events
we believe that strong communities are built through meaningful connections, and the best way to make those happen is by bringing people together. that’s why we host everything from casual meetups to big social events, organize volunteering opportunities to give back, and create spaces where conversations can flow naturally. whether it’s a game night, a cultural celebration, or just a place to chat, we’re always finding new ways to help people meet, bond, and grow together.
identity
being asian in boston—and in the u.s. in general—comes with a unique mix of cultures, traditions, and experiences. we believe in the power of a shared identity, where we can celebrate what makes us different while embracing what connects us. aob is a space where we can be unapologetically ourselves, bond over the things that make us feel at home, and share our culture with the larger community. whether it’s food, language, or just knowing someone gets it, we’re here to build that space together.
