Youth Organization For Asian Minorities

About Me


Join The Official Y.O.F.A.M Myspace Group!
Y.O.F.A.M! [Youth Organization For Asian Minorities] is a non-profit organization founded by Jin Au-Yeung that officially launched on June 4th, 2005 which is non-coincidentally his 23rd birthday.
Although a child at heart, Jin's celebration of 23 years of life on earth helped him discover a new found sense of maturity as well as inspired him to create something that he felt was long overdue.
He envisioned a program that not only had the youths of the Asian community in mind, but one that would simultaneously promote Asian culture to others.
Being a first-generation Asian American himself, Jin realizes the adversaties that Asian youths are faced with on a daily basis living in today's society from dealing with racial stereotypes to personal battles with trying to develop an individual identity without losing touch with ones own culture.
Through organized events, fund-raisers, contests, scholarship programs and a multitude of other resources Y.O.F.A.M! sets out to give back to the community as well as provide an outlet for the Asian youth of today's society.
Although Y.O.F.A.M! caters to the younger generation of the Asian community by nature, it certainly embraces and respects those of all ages and nationalities.
Our Mission Statement:
The objective of Y.O.F.A.M is to uplift the youth of the asian community by
utilizing these three main themes:
Unity, Positivity and Self-Awareness.
To become a member of Y.O.F.A.M! all you have to do is stand by your beliefs.
