GOALS

1
Cultural Connection
Bringing People Together, One Conversation at a Time
We believe culture is something to be shared, not just studied. That’s why we create meaningful opportunities for students and communities to connect across borders. Through cultural exchange, language learning, and storytelling, we help build friendships and empathy that go beyond differences.
Current Project:
We’re running a Free Community English Tutoring Program for Taiwanese immigrants—helping them feel more at home in their new environment through language support and connection. It's one small way we’re making the world a little closer, one person at a time.
2
Environmental Awareness
Caring for the Earth Starts with Awareness—and Action
We’re passionate about making environmental education more relatable, engaging, and accessible. Through fun learning experiences, creative outreach, and fundraising, we aim to inspire the next generation of environmental changemakers.
Current Focus:
We’re raising awareness and support for coral reef conservation at Kahaluʻu Bay in Hawaiʻi. Coral reefs are vital ecosystems under threat, and we’re committed to helping preserve their beauty and biodiversity through education and advocacy.

STEM Education
STEM Isn’t Just for “Science People”—It’s for Everyone
STEM doesn’t have to be boring, intimidating, or reserved for a select few. We’re working to break down barriers and show students that science, technology, engineering, and math can be fun, creative, and deeply empowering.
Through community outreach programs, we create space for students of all backgrounds to explore STEM in hands-on, real-life ways—whether it’s coding games, experimenting with robotics, or just asking big questions about how the world works.

Critical Thinking
In a World Full of Information, We Need to Think Deeper
Now more than ever, the ability to think critically and ask meaningful questions is a skill we all need. That’s why we’re building programs that help young people not just speak up, but think through what they’re saying—and listen to others with respect.
Inspired by the spirit of the Oxford Union, we’re launching high school guest speaker events with debates, live Q&As, and open discussions. Our goal is to help students build the confidence and curiosity to explore big ideas, challenge assumptions, and grow as thoughtful global citizens.
