A wearable air purifier assembly provides filtered air that is directed toward a person's nose and mouth. The assembly includes a housing. A tether is constructed of a flexible material and is attached to the housing. The tether is configured to be positioned around a person's neck to suspend the housing from the person's neck. A filter is positioned within the interior space of the housing for filtering the ambient air drawn into the interior space of the housing. An output fan is coupled to the housing and positioned proximate a second end of the housing. The output fan is in fluid communication with the ambient air filtered by the filter wherein the output fan directs the ambient air filtered by the filter outwardly of the housing toward a nose and mouth of the person wearing the assembly.
