The Chinese Heritage Society [CHS] is a club that aims to uplift communities through community service and cultural advocacy. We seek to foster a sense of respect and appreciation among people of different cultures, backgrounds, and perspectives, and aim to share China’s rich and diverse history, traditions, and arts- both in Sunset High School and in the Oregon area. We strive to contribute to the well-being of our local and global communities through various service projects and events, and in doing so, we aspire to create a positive impact and a lasting legacy for future generations.

We work with the Oregon Chinese Coalition (OCC) and a multitude of partner organizations to bring an unparalleled range of volunteer and activity opportunities to students, both within and outside of Sunset High School. There are dozens of open, non-committal options for volunteering, with creative, journalistic, health, and mentoring opportunities available. Additionally, we offer multiple leadership positions and awards. Learn more.
