I am Eunnye Yang, the Founder and Principal Mentor of the Critical Learning Club. I launched my business in 2020 after working 9 years at the monitoring company as a yoga, art mentor.
I wanted to focus on guiding young people to find and develop their areas of interest and passion while becoming more aware of compassion and sustainable living and less academic achievement.
Food scrap backyard composting has been one of my programs to teach youth. I am always excited and feel responsible to act on when I can reduce landfills.
The more I practice to be living sustainably, I desire to synchronize with nature’s rhythm, and start to recognize more problems and my limits. Sometimes, I do feel helpless about the problems and at least influencing and interacting with Youths brings me hope and joys.
I constantly develop programs for Youth to be aware of living more sustainably and appreciate nature. So, I hope to learn from the course to materialize my vision to reality and not end with wish lists.

Building ground for education: permaculture practice based restorative village
Growing food in NYC apartment
