2021 ANNUAL REPORT
Dear YANA family,
A sweenter the third year of the pandemic,
it can feel like little has changed since everything started,
or maybe even like there’s little to celebrate.
We’re here to tell you, however, that a virus is no match for our God,
and that even when we are tired, He never stops working!
Thanks to your time, energy, prayers, and financial support,
a lot happened here at YANA this past year.
Here’s an overview of the highlights :
YSAP
Now in its eighth year(2022),
YSA YSAP has brought over a total of eight Korean students
(ranging in grades from middle school to college)
to study in the U.S. since its inception.
In June, we celebrated our first college graduation
with the very first student to join our program
(congrats, Eunji!), and our most recent student
graduated high school and began attending college.
What a year!
YANA 119
In Korea, the number to dial for emergencies is “119,”
and we certainly felt the urgency this year.
While we’ve always known of the many ways
young adults struggle after aging out of group homes,
we were contacted in March by Kyeongmin Kim,
a 25-year-old who was diagnosed with osteosarcoma (bone) cancer, but could not afford treatment.
Moved by his story, we created YANA 119
to help abandoned young adults seek the medical
care they critically need, but could not previously afford.
Since March, we’ve partnered with 45 clinics and doctors, and disbursed $15,000 to 12 young adults.

YNOT CONFERENCE
In June, we gathered 31 organizations across
Korea, Canada, and the U.S. to hold our first
annual YNOT Conference. With services supporting
single mothers, adoptees, children in group
homes, and young adults who have aged out of the
system, these organizations work across the full
spectrum of orphan care in Korea. We were joined
byby actress Aera Shin and Starbucks Korea CEO
David Song, who gave keynote speeches that rallied
and encouraged us all. A leadership group was
established in September, and planning is already
underway for the 2022 conference. We look forward
to the new environment of collaboration and
support that can grow out of this group as we con
tinue improving the ways we serve our youth together
