At Jing Ying Institute, we are about much more than kicking and punching! We believe Community Service is important and we believe in helping where we can.

On an individual basis, we want our students to learn to do what is right and to be involved and active members of society. People naturally like to help others and we want to encourage that attitude in our students as well as help them find opportunities to express it.

In addition to events where we directly help raise funds, we often do educational programs at local schools to help students learn about Chinese culture and the history of Lion Dance, Kung Fu or Tai Chi. These types of activities are too numerous to list individually.

We list upcoming opportunities on our event page, but here is a list of some events:
