Child & Youth Services Program Manager
Denise Lee
Denise fell in love with youth work and activism when she was only a middle school kid. Inspired by her own youth leaders and mentors, Denise quickly developed a passion for youth leadership development, community engagement, and social justice. This resolve stuck with her through college and graduate school, leading her to get her BA in Sociology with a Minor in Education at the University of California Irvine and currently completing her Masters of Arts in Urban Studies with an emphasis of Youth Development. With a strong drive to grow young people, she has demonstrated this commitment in a variety of settings from traditional institutions of education to faith-based community programs. Over the past 10 years, Denise has been dedicated in creating programs that help young people learn and be confident in who they are and have agency in the change they want to see happen. As a Youth Program Coordinator for Asian Health Services, she currently works to uphold her values in social justice and youth empowerment by providing spaces for youth leadership, connecting AHS staff to local youth and their needs, as well as preparing future generations for the world to come.

Hello Y'all my name is Kenneth Phan and I am a Community Health Advocate  with AHS Youth Program. I am excited to work together with the youth and make an impact in thier lives, especially the youth who come from similar backgrounds as me.

What's Gucci y'all?!

 

My name is Dannieze Miguel pronounced like BIG BOSS Denise Lee. Yes, the spelling of my name is like that and yes teachers did struggle to pronounce my name growing up even though it's pronounced so simple. It's okay, it's not as unique as my cousin down there, but weirder than my sister up there on this page. Anyways, I'm a freshman at UC Berkeley majoring in Sustainable Environmental Design. I mostly did community service with CNH KIWIN'S in high school and performed a few times although I had no dance experience. I take an interest in graphic design, psychology, and community service. I've been listening to K-POP since 4th grade and I still do, but don't ask me about new artists because I have no idea about them. I've watched Naruto for the first time in the summer of 2019 within 1 month and 2 weeks (YES ALL 720 EPISODES) and rarely got sleep. Yup, I like anime too. Demon Slayer episode 19 is where it's at!!! When I'm free, I watch Netflix shows like The Office, Parks & Recreation, Dear White People, The Originals, The Umbrella Academy, and many more. This is a lot, so bye bye~
