Bonjour Girls is a New York–based Asian women’s community that has brought together over 7,500 outstanding Asian women from diverse fields, including international students, early-career professionals, entrepreneurs, artists, and researchers. Guided by the core values of Empowerment, Connection, and Inspiration, the community is dedicated to providing Asian women in the United States with a platform that supports both personal growth and professional development. Through career development workshops, in-person networking events, themed talks, and curated storytelling projects centered on women’s experiences, Bonjour Girls continues to build a genuine, empowering, and warm network—helping members cultivate a sense of belonging, expand their professional circles, and realize their full potential while living abroad. The organization also actively collaborates with universities, institutions, and brands on cross-cultural initiatives, amplifying Asian women’s voices and growth in a global context.
Since 2024, the Carnegie International Student Institute (CISI) has become one of Bonjour Girls’ key partners. CISI has supported the successful launch of a large-scale growth celebration for over one hundred young women, as well as the organization of multiple sharing sessions focused on studying, working, and living in the United States.
“We would like to extend our special thanks to CISI for its support of Bonjour Girls’ events, and for partnering with us to create spaces where more women can encourage one another and share their growth journeys. With CISI’s funding, our in-person events have directly benefited over 300 Chinese women in New York and have reached and influenced more than 2,000 international students and young professionals. Looking ahead, many more exciting collaborative events are on the way, continuing to empower Chinese women in the U.S. and contribute to our shared mission. We look forward to creating more meaningful moments together with CISI—so that every woman can move forward with confidence and write her own remarkable story.”
