About CEO

Jianna Kims says, "I started volunteering with Special Olympics in the 6th grade. Since then, I founded a non-profit organization called GIVE-Youth to engage in more volunteer activities, helping society alongside many others. Initially, it was just me, but we had 5 local members, and currently, we've expanded to 66 members across various regions in the United States, India, and Morocco. Through numerous volunteer events, we have been able to offer significant assistance to those in need.

In particular, when I reached 9th grade, I became a coach for Special Olympics, and this experience ignited a deeper passion for helping people with intellectual disabilities. I noticed that it's not easy for them to find employment or earn money on their own. After successfully organizing an art exhibition for autistic children through GIVE-Youth, I started exploring ways for people with intellectual disabilities to earn a living and lead a social life.

I discovered their artistic talents and encouraged them to express themselves through art. We hold art exhibitions, created various products, and decided to establish an agency that allows them to earn money on their own. This endeavor is not just about making money; it's about unearthing their hidden potential and sharing their unique artistic sensibilities with the world. It has become a meaningful mission to empower them and make a difference."
