Meet The Team

Cho-Zen is the product of my passion for fostering and serving the youth of my community. I strive to provide them with all the resources I didn't have when I was younger. There's no greater feeling than helping someone become the best version of themselves. The improvement of our youth aids in the growth of self.

I believe in Cho-Zen and decided to be a part of this great organization because of the love I have for the youth. My passion is to work with the youth and help them excel in all aspects of life! I strive to be a supportive, confident, and positive role model, as well as a mentor for our youth. My goal is to assist the youth in building confidence and resilience so they can make positive choices for their future. 

My name is Amy Jernigan, I am a hometown (Springfield) graduate. I am currently an art teacher at Innovation Academy. I decided to be part of Chozen to help my community in any way possible. 

I am part of Chozen because children are our future.  I love helping Children stay on the right road. I think all some children need a little guidance to help achieve their dreams.

Bio coming soon!

I volunteer for Cho-zen because it gives me PURPOSE. Working with Cho-zen makes me directly a part of something that’s for a greater cause. Last but not least CHO-ZEN is more than an organization. It’s a vessel for young individuals who want to do good in their own individual lives and the community as well.

Bio coming soon!

I’m involved in Cho-Zen because I like the chance, we get to form bonds with people and kids in my community. Being able to help our community in the smallest ways brings me joy. Watching the kids, we help grow into amazing people is one of the biggest accomplishments that come with being a part of this program.
