First Step

Don't be afraid to take it.

We want to make a lasting positive impact on our community through our volunteer work.
Many team members have written articles published in both English and Chinese to promote participation in community service among the local Chinese American community.

I envision a future where we all think about how to make the world a better place and start by taking small but concrete steps. I have always wanted to clean up trash, save coral reefs, solve hunger and other large scale problems.
That's why I founded this team. Let's all take the First Step to a better future.
-- Annie Lin, founder and president from 2020-2024
