Incredible work by one of our Young Texan Amabassodors, the Council Co-Vice Chair Yu Yi Wu!! ?? ?? ??
??Making a Difference, One Piece of Trash at a Time!?? This weekend, our founder Yu Yi Wu led a transformative Park Cleanup Event in partnership with Keep Texas Beautiful, with supplies generously provided by the Texas Department of Transportation!! With the incredible efforts of 60+ passionate volunteers, including members of 5+ school environmental clubs and student council leaders, we removed over 100 pounds of trash, plastics, and debris from our local park. Every bottle, wrapper, and piece of litter collected is a step closer to a cleaner, healthier, and more sustainable community. ???? This event reminded us of the power of collaboration and the impact young leaders can make when they come together with purpose. To everyone who gave their time, energy, and heart to this cause—THANK YOU! Your contributions made our neighborhood greener and more beautiful. Let’s keep this momentum going! Together, we can create a brighter, more sustainable future for generations to come. ???? ?? Want to join us for our next event?
