The CYOC 2025 Fall Donation Drive was a great success! This was the second time Ruichen and I hosted the event. We organized our first donation drive in the summer of 2025, and this time Kevin also joined us as part of the organizing team. Even though we already had experience, we still learned a lot and worked even better together.

I was truly honored to serve as a youth volunteer at the 23rd Chinese Culture Festival, held on August 30, 2025, at 300 Pennsylvania Avenue, Washington, DC, right next to the historic Capitol Hill. Surrounded by the festive atmosphere and the grandeur of the Capitol, this experience became especially memorable. I joined CYOC (Chinese Youth Outreach Center), an organization dedicated to volunteer service and community engagement. Through this event, I not only contributed to the community but also gained a deeper appreciation for the value of cultural exchange.

Volunteering in astronomy has been one of the most exciting and eye-opening experiences of my life. I never imagined that I would spend my evening helping people explore the night sky, but through my volunteer work, I discovered not only the beauty of the universe but also how much people were interested in astronomy, too.

As a person living in a society, communities will always mean a lot to us. Whether its the people who live around you, the people who have the same interests as you, or the people who share the same race as you, they will always be a big part of your life. There’s a reason why the Chinese Cultural Festival in D.C. exists and that’s to bring our talented chinese community together. In a large group, we can further strengthen our own relationships, and we can even make brand new ones! When us CYOC volunteers work, we take the word “community” seriously and we try to help everyone we can so that our community members may have the time of their lives.

If you went to Capitol Hill on August 31, 2024, you would have found Tai Chi performers, people playing Go, lion and dragon dances, and stuffed pandas. This is no normal day in DC, it’s the Chinese Culture Festival. Every year since 1993, it draws hundreds of people to gather at Capitol Hill, and clearly NOT for any political event.
The culture festival was created to spread awareness of Chinese culture, hence the name. Last year, my service group, Capitol Youth Outreach Club, volunteered at this festival, and my job was to walk around the city and do some advertising. This year, I switched to the reporter group. My job this time around was to take pictures and videos and write a report on the festival.
