About Us

The First Tsinghua Youth Conference was officially established July 2023 and is an extension of the North America Federation of Tsinghua Alumni Associations (NAFTHAA). This conference is made possible by the alumni of Tsinghua as well as their children from all over North America, and our mission is to allow the children of alumni (also known as the Gen 2) to be able to meet and connect with each other through meaningful speaker events and other activities over the course of several days. As an affiliate of NAFTHAA, we also have the mission of continuing the spirit and culture of Tsinghua as well as coordinating alumni and Gen 2 activities across North America.
