J&H Foundation

J&H Foundation will host a team event “Design Your Community”, from 4/1 to 6/12/2022. This event is aimed to encourage high school students to find areas/issues in the community that can be improved, and form a team to collaboratively design, develop and demonstrate a feasible solution.

To participate in this event, please visit www.ijhfoundation.org to register as a member and submit your proposal by 4/30/2022. The proposal will only be shared with J&H Foundation staffs until the team presentation. The first 20 submitted project proposals that are accepted by J&H Foundation will receive $50 gift card from Happy Lamb @ Cupertino, CA.

On 6/5 - 12/2022, J&H Foundation will host a series of virtual meetings for all teams to present their projects and demonstrate the solutions. A panel of judges will select top 3 projects and a few honorables for rewards. The top three will win scholarship: First Place US $1500, Second Place $1200, and Third place $800. Each honorable will also get $300 scholarship. All project hours can be certified as community service hours.

Though resolving a community issue will surely benefit the community J&H Foundation believes that going through the problem solving process itself will be a reward to every participant: each participant will be able to gain valuable experience in setting meaningful missions/goals, problem solving skill, creative thinking, team work, finance, and presentation. These abilities will help each participant life long. For the same reasoning J&H Foundation wishes those teams which are short of time to develop solutions will present their projects on 6/5-12/2022 to raise the awareness of community issues, share the team’s thoughts and collect feedbacks.

J&H Foundation reserves the right to reject any inappropriate proposal that could be harmful to the community from the perspective of security, social justice, politics, gender equality and racism.

“Design Your Community” is a continuing activity aimed to encourage everyone to find problems and develop new solution creatively. You are welcomed to submit a proposal anytime by visiting www.ijhfoundation.org. J&H Foundation will select and sponsor projects that have high values to the community.
