The Capital Youth Outreach Club (CYOC) is a student-led volunteer organization with more than five hundred registered members from Maryland, Virginia, and Washington, DC. Established in 2018, CYOC has successfully organized multiple fundraising efforts to support hospitals in the US and China during the COVID-19 pandemic, provided aid to Ukrainian musicians affected by the war, and assisted refugees as they settled into the community. As one of the most active youth volunteer organizations in the area, CYOC has had the honor of participating in Washington, DC’s Independence Day parade for four consecutive years (2019, 2022, 2023, and 2024).

CYOC offers a diverse range of volunteer activities, focusing on education, sports, arts, and various community service projects. We warmly welcome young individuals from all backgrounds to join our mission of serving the community, emphasizing the strength that comes from collective efforts. Together, through collaboration and shared goals, CYOC aims to make a positive impact and foster a more inclusive and compassionate society.

华府青年和大华府浙大校友会2026浙江夏令营圆满收官

虽然此次夏令营因不可抗力的天气原因，不得不取消或调整了部分精心安排的行程，留下了一些遗憾，但也正因为如此，我们更加感受到了祖籍国对海外华裔青少年的关爱与温暖。无论遇到什么困难，浙江的各地朋友们都竭尽所能，为二代们创造最好的学习和交流环境。宾馆变成了课堂，会议室变成了实践教室，营员们学习中国传统民俗文化，体验非遗手工制作，在一次次亲身参与中感受中华文化的魅力。

Building the Next Generation of Engineers: CYOC 2026 Summer Engineering Workshop (Week 1)

By George Wang, CYOC Member and Engineering Workshop Instructor

Following the success of last year’s Engineering Workshop, my friends Evan Chen, Ruichen Feng, and I returned this summer to organize and teach the CYOC 2026 Summer Engineering Workshop. This is the second year Evan and Ruichen have organized and led this camp, and working closely with them throughout the program has allowed me to learn a great deal from their experience and leadership. Unlike last year, when I only assisted as a guest instructor for one day, this year I served as a full-time instructor, actively involved throughout the entire program in teaching, mentoring students, and troubleshooting engineering challenges alongside Evan and Ruichen.

Building Future Engineers: Reflections on the 2026 CYOC Summer Engineering Workshop

By Ruichen Feng (CYOC Summer Engineering Workshop Co-Founder & Instructor)

This summer marked my second year serving as an instructor for the CYOC Summer Engineering Workshop. I had the privilege of working alongside the workshop’s founder, Evan Chen, and instructor George Wang. As co-founder of the workshop, my goal, together with our teaching team, was to provide meaningful STEM enrichment opportunities for elementary to middle school students while inspiring them to explore future pathways in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). This year, we welcomed 16 middle school and rising middle school students, most of whom had little or no prior experience with engineering, computer-aided design (CAD), electronics, or programming.
