Our very own CodeClub Founder and President Puiyee Kong was honored with the Governor’s Youth Volunteer Leader Service award for her accomplishments with CodeClub in giving back to the community!
The Governor’s Youth Volunteer Service Awards, administered by the State Office of Volunteerism, honor the contributions of individuals and groups in Delaware that have made a positive impact in their communities or across the state through service and volunteering.
Puiyee volunteers teaching her own self-developed coding curriculum to elementary and middle-school students in her program called CodeClub. She reached out to the Dover Public Library to inquire about teaching her own coding classes and has since taught two different 17-week sessions over the course of 2020-2022. Her volunteer service included research on websites, developing teaching materials and resources, planning interactive activities for the students and creating engaging presentations whilst teaching the class herself. Puiyee recognized a need in her community and spearheaded her own program to meet that need.
Puiyee says one of the reasons why she is so dedicated to her volunteer service is because of the ability for her to directly enhance the lives of others, specifically the young children with whom she works with.
Puiyee’s passion for working with others and giving back to her community is truly exemplified through the active role she plays in her community: as a leader and role model for younger generations. Congratulations!
