Hwarang Youth Foundation

We are the Altos Chapter, a passionate youth service group of high school students from Palo Alto, Mountain View, Los Altos, and surrounding areas. We plan and execute various activities based on what we have learned at school, promote the well-being and development of the local community, and at the same time, do our best to develop ourselves to become global leaders.

​

Every Sunday morning, we help the homeless by giving them a hot meal, daily necessities and listening to their stories. Our vision reaches globally. Aligned with the environmental movement, we collect, sort, and sell recyclables to reduce waste and support those in need. Also, partnering with Hwarang's Global Links, we offer online English tutoring to Stanford's international student families. This program showcases how Korean-American youth aids diverse families in adapting and integrating into a new community. Lastly, We're launching a new activity in September 2023 to help local libraries sell used books to help citizens grow intellectually.

​

Altos Chapter students consistently organize diverse volunteer efforts like senior center visits and tree planting in less developed regions, fostering personal growth and global leadership through ongoing member discussions. Let’s unite for meaningful change.
