On February 11, 2026, five youth volunteers organized and delivered a Spring Festival Sing, Read, and Bookmark Activity at Richmond Family Place for local families and children.
The program included storytelling, singing, and a bookmark activity related to the Spring Festival. Youth volunteers shared traditional stories such as the legend of Nian and the Chinese Zodiac, helping children learn about Chinese culture in a simple and engaging way.
The event also included a short music segment with guitar accompaniment, where volunteers sang together with the children. As part of the activity, children made horse-themed bookmarks inspired by the Chinese zodiac, which they could take home.
During the program, volunteers encouraged children to participate by asking simple questions and inviting them to share their ideas. The activity gave children an opportunity to learn about Spring Festival traditions while allowing youth volunteers to practice organizing activities and engaging with younger children in the community.
On February 28, 2026, Ginkgo Youth Association participated in the Lunar New Year celebration at the Richmond Brighouse Library, where various community organizations hosted cultural activities for the public.
During the event, we organized Chinese and English lantern riddles, a traditional Lunar New Year game that encourages both language learning and cultural understanding. Participants of all ages enthusiastically joined in solving the riddles, and the activity received an overwhelmingly positive response from the community.
In addition to the riddles, the event also featured Chinese paper-cutting and calligraphy writing of the character “福” (Fu, meaning good fortune and blessings). These hands-on activities allowed children and families to experience traditional Chinese arts and learn about the cultural meaning behind Lunar New Year symbols.
