On September 12th, 2023, three students in CA founded the 146th branch of the Alliance of Youth Leaders in the United States (AYLUS): San Clemente, CA.
Founder: Elena Hsieh
Co-Founders: Laura Liu & Edward Leigh
Description of the San Clemente Branch
As the founders of the new AYLUS San Clemente branch, we will dedicate our volunteering work to help protect the Natural Reserve and the surrounding ranch land by participating in volunteering work, such as trail cleaning and weed clearing, fire watch/wildfire monitoring, restoring and maintaining natural habitat for wildlife, and education programs for schools and general public.
Besides the above volunteering work as our main focus, we will also perform volunteering work in our local communities such as park cleanup, creek and beach cleanup, and charity fundraising activities. We are dedicated to grow our branch to have more local youth involved in volunteering work in our communities.
