About JoyLand

JoyLand Foundation began in 2017 with a simple idea: an opportunity means more when it is shared. What started as free English lessons for students in China has grown into projects that reach students and communities locally and around the world.

Through English education, community action, and AAPI advocacy, JoyLand works to make learning and resources accessible to everyone. Since 2017, over 20,000 students and families have benefited from JoyLand's work.
