Management Department
Naomi Ching
Founder & CEO
Hi everyone! My name is Naomi Ching, and I am a senior at Steveston London Secondary School. Establishing YNS has truly been a large aspect of my life and shaped it into what it is today; from the ineffable impact and relationships we have all made, and the many more projects to come, YNS has always been an outlet that allowed me to give back to my community. Starting out as an online tutoring service as a COVID relief project, to a youth platform to cater a larger audience, all happened within a blink of an eye; but I am forever grateful for all our volunteers, executives, partners, and youths for making this possible.
