Welcome to the NVF Clubhouse

Our clubs are student-led with minimal, yet attentive adult supervision to ensure a safe environment and proper guidance. Each club is encouraged to create project plans, develop budgets, organize helpers and volunteers, and host events that make positive impacts within the community.

 

Arts & Craft club recognizes that artistic expression can take many forms. This club hopes to cultivate the creative talent out our members by giving them multiple creative outlets. Many of our art and craft classes are instructed by talented adult and teen volunteers in an effort to teach multicultural awareness and spread artistic inspiration. Many of the arts and crafts assembled by students are then incorporated into our merchandise. Members also create and design original NVF characters which are used on our very own merchandise and logos. 

Business Club was founded by industrious youth members who were interested in how businesses were formed, structured, and run. This club is in charge of many of the functional aspects of business planning for NVF as a whole such as evaluating profitability of club endeavors, calculating expenditures, and securing financial backing. Through hands-on experience, members of the Business Club gain invaluable insights into financial management, strategic planning, and the complexities of running an organization. Their efforts not only contribute to the success of NVF but also equip them with the skills and knowledge needed to excel in future business endeavors.

 The Running Club meets every Sunday morning at 7:30 AM, starting at Woodbridge High School. This weekly gathering is more than just a chance to exercise—it’s an opportunity to build a sense of community among participants who share a love for running and staying active. Beyond the physical benefits, the Running Club is also about fostering connections, providing a place everybody to meet new people, stay motivated, and enjoy a healthy, active lifestyle.

STUDENT TESTIMONY

Cheryl Cichon

Nova Vita Foundation has blessed me with many opportunities and skills that will be beneficial in the future. It not only improves my leadership and social skills but also has shaped me to be a better version of myself!

Tao MacRae

I have learned many valuable business skills through NVF.
NVF is helping me become a leader by giving me the opportunity to take part in exciting and appropriately challenging projects with realistic business methods.

Naomi Hanabusa

Nova Vita has created an amazing experience for me to plan an entire event with other students. I learned leadership skills and made good friends on the way which was just as important. I really enjoy being part of this organization.

Kaho Cichon

Being a part of the Nova Vita Foundation has helped me develop leadership skills, recognize my strengths, and make a positive impact in my community. Collaboration and teamwork have taught me the importance of leveraging diverse perspectives and resolving conflicts. I have gained project management skills by organizing events and overseeing initiatives. Engaging with diverse communities has cultivated empathy and cultural sensitivity, while fundraising efforts have taught me how to engage donors and mobilize resources.

Tiana Kaneko

Nova Vita Foundation has provided me with the opportunity to strengthen my leadership, business, and organizational skills, making me a stronger leader and student overall. Being a part of this organization has also helped me grow as a person and prepare me for my future!

Sean Kokuzo

Joining Nova Vita allowed me to create lasting connections with the other members through the various events I attended. I have never been a leader and never thought I would, but I grew more comfortable with becoming one as I started to get more involved with NVF. Additionally, I was also able to boost my social skills by interacting with either guests or customers who visit our events and regularly attending meetings. As one of the co-presidents, we lead the meetings we have every week with all the leaders, to discuss any recent updates and future plans. If I had looked at myself currently before NVF, I would’ve never believed that I could become a leader, so I really appreciate what this organization has done for me. Finally, Nova Vita has given me the opportunity to learn valuable life skills from volunteering and organizing different events.
