It is our pleasure to introduce the members of the AGO Youth Council.
Week 5: Kenneth Koo and Jamie Kwan.
Kenneth Koo
Born in Hong Kong and raised in Toronto, Kenneth Koo is currently a high school student attending Earl Haig Secondary School. With a strong interest in graphic design and typography, Kenneth is also a member of the AGO Youth Council. Kenneth’s favorite font at the moment is Geneva Now. Concerned with social issues such as animal rights and the alleviation of poverty, Kenneth aids in organizing and running the Global Affairs Conference and “Me to We” week annually at his school.
Jamie Kwan
Jamie Kwan is currently a grade 11 student at Harbord Collegiate Institute, moving along in pursuing a career in architecture. He absolutely loves the visual arts course at his school, even though his high school is mostly known for academics. He is also a competitive swimmer with the Toronto Swim Club, taking in chlorine almost 15 hours a week. Outside of school and in his “tons” of spare time, he enjoys reading, drawing, and just playing some video games to relax. Although he doesn’t have tons of time for the arts, he tries his best to get involved at school by submitting work to exhibitions. He loves working with clay, painting, and just drawing with other mediums. By becoming involved with the AGO Youth Council, he hopes to expand his interests in visual arts all over the community.
