Through his work in the Youth Council, Wen teamed up with exceptional high school peers to combat issues affecting younger students, specifically supporting middle school students in their transition to high school. Through the WAFL program, Wen collaborated with Korean Americans around the nation to learn more about his culture and identity (as an Asian-American) and discuss issues affecting the Asian-American community. <br><br>\nBesides serving his community, Wen is in his school\u2019s advanced choir (Madgricals) and is involved in his church Youth Band.
