Shilla 

Shilla is formed from one of the already established chapters, Westridge, located in Orange County. The name, Shilla, comes from one of the three kingdoms in Korean history. Shilla branched out of Westridge in June, 2018 to exert more focus on volunteering and to help grow Hwarang Youth Organization. From that time, Chapter Shilla became independent. Many active events and volunteer work have been done including monthly recycling, sandwich making, and memorial cleanups. In addition to the current effort to continue with volunteer work for the Orange County community, Shilla has been working diligently to grow within by reaching out to local junior high and high school students to join. Shilla has grown into a large chapter with many more members coming in.
From now on, Shilla will continue to participate in local and regional events. By sharing the same goals from the main headquarters, Shilla hopes to reach far and beyond to help continue to fundraise and volunteer time to help underprivileged people gain vision in Guatemala. The future vision is to continue to grow in numbers, participate in more events, and expand our volunteer services to reach more communities.
