High School Chapters

Foothill high

Foothill High School’s YEN chapter was founded by Deborah Shin along with her fellow peers. This branch of YEN focuses on reaching out to the children through school fundraisers and raising awareness of the global community. FHS YEN’s goal is to create long lasting improvements for the Haitian children while creating uniting all people at Foothill High school. The main fundraiser Foothill YEN does is the “Annual Book Drive” that includes the whole school and usually garners hundreds of books. We, as a chapter, are thriving and hope to only grow as a group here at Foothill. Please pray for us as we embark on new encounters and help to connect Haiti and FHS. Thank you!

Collierville High School

Collierville High School’s YEN chapter was founded by Hannah Park. Our chapter focuses on two main things: supporting the younger generation of Haiti and creating a community of Christ at school. Through fundraising, advocating, and praying for the kids in Haiti, we work to help spread the gospel to these underdeveloped areas. Locally, we build a strong network of believers, deepening our personal faith through regular devotionals and fellowship. Rather than sitting back, we empower our members to put their faith into action and make a meaningful difference together, both in our community and beyond.

Irvington High

Irvington High School’s YEN Chapter was founded by David Louie and his peers. This chapter plans to bring more awareness to the global community regarding education in underdeveloped countries. The club helps to create connections with Haiti and Irvington High School, empowering the student body to do more for their global community. We hope to foster leadership and love by caring for and serving those who are in need. With this club, we are able to connect with other clubs that might have similar goals or intentions, such as community service, informational events, and large fundraisers. Please pray for our leaders, so that we may become leaders through servitude and serve the community wholeheartedly.

College Chapters

UC Berkeley

UC Berkeley’s YEN chapter was founded by Deborah Shin. We have a heart for the people of Haiti, especially for children who lack access to educational resources. Berkeley YEN aims to go on mission trips to teaqch students English, using lesson plans we create over the school year, centered on the Gospel. We also fundraise within the Berkeley community in order to provide aid to the villages of Lubin and Gervais. Please pray not only for the Haitian children, but also so the group may be prepared to serve in Haitian schools and the community we live in.
