Culture Learning Trips to China
We took trips to China and were able to connect with numerous schools and educational centers. By conversing and collaborating with teachers and principals, as well as volunteers from England who were looking to teach English to nearby students, we were able to connect with the area’s educational environment. Through presentations regarding American culture and discussions about the differing lifestyles and cultures, we learned a lot about the lives of students in China and helped them learn about our lives as well.
Culture Learning Camps in Seattle
Since the summer of 2017, we have been able to allow many families to visit the Seattle region and introduce them to our community as well as give them a chance to explore the region. We held many events, such as introducing children to baseball through a local high school baseball athlete and holding picnics in the lush parks of Seattle.
Robotics Competitions
Throughout the 2019-2020 and 2020-2021 academic school years, the 47 robotics teams (Thunder/Overfilled Jelly Doughnuts, etc.) from Evergreen Middle School were sponsored by Sunshine Youth to participate in regional events. They were able to acquire team gear and purchase supplies to practice with. Through their outstanding performance at regional competitions, the teams were able to advance to the state Vex IQ competition, where they had a solid performance.
Young Entrepreneur Group
We sponsored a group of young, aspiring entrepreneurs who were able to design and create a collection of potted plants over quarantine.
