Meet The Team

Janice Chan

FOUNDER & PRESIDENT

The world shifts around us in ways both visible and unseen. In every moment, there is a space — a breath — where we decide who we will be. I choose to act.

From researching migrant workers’ rights to founding BridgeUYouth, from speaking on stage as an emcee to training in the discipline of competitive swimming — each path I take is bound by one purpose: to break cycles of disadvantage and open doors for others.

I believe talent is not just what we are given, but how we use it. And every skill, every platform, every opportunity I hold is a tool to create something larger than myself — a community where empathy becomes action, and action becomes change.

As young people living on the frontlines of global shifts, we hold each other through the unthinkable. There comes a moment when we feel it all, the unbearable need to do something, to temper our humanity.

Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.
 — Viktor Frankl

Freedom from enduring disasters proclaimed as inevitable; freedom to act, to choose to act. Because we must, and can, transform outdated systems into new creativity, give meaning to our actions where none remains, found original processes, sense and then establish new human relationships, new synergies.

If I’m an advocate for anything, it is to act. Because that is how we return to our humanity and dare to hope.

Remember, everyone has a purpose
