Student-run chapters
BCC, KISJ and Seoul Academy.
Three schools, working on the things their communities need.
KYTH brings together students from BCC, KISJ and Seoul Academy. Each chapter chooses its own focus and works with its school and community.
STARK works on recycling. ARK supports animal welfare. POI connects students’ academic interests with educational outreach.
Chapters run their own projects and report back to KYTH. Sharing the work helps other schools learn from what went well—and what needs to change.
Three chapters. Three areas of work.
BCC, KISJ and Seoul Academy.
Each chapter works with its own community.
Recycling, animal welfare and educational outreach.
Choose a problem in the school or local community.
Record what is happening, who it affects and what is already being tried.
Run a project, campaign or service activity that responds to that problem.
Share the work, spending and results with KYTH so other chapters can learn from it.

Chapters can make and sell goods to support their work. Sales can cover the next round of production and contribute to a donation or community project.
Members develop goods and sell them at school fairs or local markets. Online sales and crowdfunding are possible later steps.
Track production costs, sales and the amount available for projects and donations.
Each chapter sets its own allocation and reports how the funds are used.
STARK’s published plan reports approximately ₩600,000 raised toward a ₩1,000,000 first-donation target. Read STARK’s plan.
Start with a local issue and a few students who want to work on it. You can apply before the full project is planned.
Tell us your school, location and the issue you want to address.
Headquarters reviews the application and discusses the proposed chapter.
Choose representatives, plan the work and join the network’s reporting process.
Students, residents and organizations can share problems they think a chapter could help address.

Students Take Action for Recycling Kyth
STARK is BCC’s chapter of KYTH. We work on recycling and the use of eco-friendly materials, beginning with our own campus. We document a problem, run a project or campaign and report what changed.
STARK’s campus project looks at recyclables being mixed with general waste. Clear sorting guidance and a visible plan for collected materials can help students take part.
Our goal is to turn recoverable materials into useful products and use sales to support donations.
The published STARK plan proposes testing low-cost recycled products before making larger quantities.
Approximately ₩600,000, as reported in the published chapter plan.
The target amount for STARK’s first donation.
The proposed limit for the first test batch.
Possible products include bottle-cap keychains or coasters, pouches made from old banners and recycled-PET tote bags. Designers develop the items; the data and treasury teams calculate costs.
Try school fairs and local flea markets once or twice a month over one to two months. Track sales, margins and customer feedback.
Focus on one or two products that sell well. The proposed split is 60% of profits for further production and 40% saved for donations.
At the ₩1,000,000 target, make the first donation and share the results with KYTH and on Instagram.
These figures describe the published chapter plan; they are not a live account balance.
The plan also considers Tumblbug crowdfunding, fairs at other schools, shared KYTH merchandise and a Naver Smart Store after any required business registration.
A merchandise category listed in STARK’s plan. Material specifications have not yet been published.
A possible small-batch product, including a recycled bottle-cap concept.
Reusable bags, with recycled textiles or PET among the proposed materials.
Recycled content and environmental benefits will depend on the final material and production choices.

Previous STARK plans also consider donation drives and reuse markets, school-uniform redistribution, sports-equipment donations, food-waste prevention and recycled-material drinkware or textile products. These remain ideas to assess before committing to them.
FREITAG is a design reference for products made from recovered materials; it is not listed as a STARK partner.

Animal Rescue Kyth
For every paw, a purpose.
ARK is KISJ’s chapter of KYTH. We support animal welfare through shelter volunteering, fundraising and community awareness. Our wider mission includes domestic animals, marine life and wildlife.
Reported across South Korea in 2025.
Reported nationwide in the 2025 survey.
Around 96,000 lost or abandoned animals were rescued in South Korea in 2025. The country had 236 animal protection centres. These animals need care, resources and opportunities for adoption.
ARK’s goal is to build consistent student support for local shelters, while encouraging responsible care in our school community.

Hands-on volunteering that supports animals and shelter staff.
Student-run fairs and fundraising to help shelters with essential resources.
Campaigns and stories about responsible animal care and welfare.
Keep volunteering, raise funds through seasonal fairs and share shelter needs with students who want to help.
Earlier chapter plans also explore adoption information, animal records, transport support, interviews and care guidebooks. These are possible directions for future work.
The earlier ARK plan targets 60–70% of fair and fundraising proceeds for shelters and approved animal-welfare projects, with 30–40% retained for operations and future projects. The final allocation may vary by project.

Polaris Outreach Initiative
Navigating Passion, Directing Impact.
POI connects students’ academic interests with educational outreach. The Seoul Academy chapter works with local Christian schools in Tondo, Manila, on Korean literacy materials and on-site volunteer activities.
Members use their interests in STEM, biology, the arts, literature, business and social sciences to create learning materials for local students.
The chapter’s goals include publishing Korean literacy textbooks, preparing volunteer crews and building sister chapters at two to three partner high schools.
Create Korean-language guides, literature, artwork and other educational resources using members’ academic interests.
Train students for interactive workshops and community activities in Tondo. The programme also includes Korean learning tools on pre-loaded iPads.
Fundraise to design, publish and distribute Korean literacy textbooks.
Start with Seoul Academy’s Alpha Chapter and work toward sister chapters at partner high schools.
POI’s chapter profile names Bangs Prime Salon and Bangs Skin Prime as outreach partners in Manila. Their work includes complimentary haircuts, personal grooming, medical consultations and skincare checkups for the Tondo community.
