Bill (Grade 9, Vancouver) and Andy (Grade 9, North Vancouver) are both amateur 4D-ranked Go players who wanted to share their love for this ancient strategy game with others. With encouragement from FES, they co-founded the Vancouver Youth Go Club, where they now teach beginners, organize tournaments, and foster a growing youth Go community.

FES supported them not only through mentorship and encouragement, but also by helping them shape their idea into a real initiative, providing them with valuable connections to venues, players, and promotional platforms. Their journey is a powerful example of how passion can transform into leadership when youth are empowered with guidance, opportunity, and support.
