The GAM Community

A living record of ABC life  across generations, fields, and time

The GAM Community brings together Abroad-Born Chinese (ABC) Next Gen and the parents who raised them - across ages, professions, cultures, and places.


ABC Next Gen are visible, capable, and influential across science, technology, medicine, art, business, and public life - supported by parents who were themselves well-educated, resilient, and intentional in how they guided their children.

GAM brings together ABC Next Gen and the parents who raised them - across ages, professions, cultures, and places.

This  is a living community where life is shared, reflected on, and shaped together - through through  conversations, collaboration, and collective experience, online and in person.

This community is built over time

Every community is made of families

ABC Family Stories

Everyday ABC family life, shared over time

Why Families Watch Families

05_Family_Walking_Campus.jpg

ABC families are often curious about one another.

How others raise children.
How parents and next gen spend time together.
How families balance tradition, modern life, and personal interests.

 

Family Stories offers a window -
not for comparison,
but for recognition and inspiration.

 

Sometimes you see yourself.
Sometimes you learn something new.
Sometimes you simply feel less alone.

Some stories take a different path

Shared Journeys Within the Community

Within the wider community, some experiences carry unique questions, memories, or transition, 

and we make space for them.  (Coming Soon)

How the community Members Grow with GAM

GAM Member Journey

Community → Active → Global

Paths into the GAM Community:

People join GAM in different ways, at different moments in their lives.

Some begin by reading and reflecting quietly as Community Members, sharing thoughts through prompts or instant posts at their own pace.

Others step in more actively - joining circles, programs, creative exchanges, travel, and gatherings as Active Members.

For those who wish to lead, connect cities, and help shape the direction of the community, the Global Membership offers a wider platform for mentorship, collaboration, and global exchange.

There is no single starting point or expected destination - members move forward when ready, guided by interest, contribution, and connection.

Member connection begin quietly and continue in many ways

Community in Practice

How members connect through gatherings, shared moments, and reflection  at their own pace.

Small Gatherings & Meetups

Online Meeting Session

Members sometimes gather in small groups - locally or online - to share time, conversation, or interests.

Many gatherings begin simply through shared interests or conversations.

And conversation continues

Staying in Touch

Some  stay quietly close.  Others reach out more often.

Every way of staying connected belongs here.

Sometimes, listening comes first

GAM Open Circle

GAM Open Circle is an informal, listening-first conversation space for GAM members.

​There’s no agenda, no preparation, and no obligation to speak.

Members are welcome to listen, share a question, or reflect on what’s on their mind.

​This is part of how GAM listens and grows before launching activities.
