Getting to Know your officers!
Hey Everyone! I’m Amanda and I am the Diocese of
Los Angeles and the West (or as I like to call it-DLAW) Teen SOYO president for this year. I am a senior at
Pinnacle
High School and plan on attending ASU in the fall. I go to St. George Church in
Phoenix! I’ve been involved in SOYO for a long time and I also help teach the youth at our church in a program called Pathways (who our wonderful youth director Katrina created J) I’ve played the violin for 7 years and those who know me know I LOVE to sing. This year I hope to be a person that you can come to for anything and I hope that I can get to know a lot of you better than I do already. I love Teen SOYO because it really allows me to be myself and I know the people feel the same way about God as I do and I’m so glad I can be a part of it as an officer. Whatever you guys need, I’m here for ya!

My name is Lauren and I am the Vice President of the Diocese of Los Angeles and the West Teen SOYO. Teen SOYO has always been a wonderful part of my life as a teenager - giving me opportunities to meet other Orthodox Christian teens, helping me grow in my faith, and surrounding me with chances to help people while helping ourselves. And the great thing about all of this is that we are doing it in Christ! Those attributes of teen SOYO are building blocks to living your life like Christ in the Orthodox way, but it starts with getting out there and doing something. That is why I am so excited about being a part of the SOYO team. We go out and do something, like we are called to do. Let's make what we do in SOYO not only a part of life, but a way of life!

Hey everyone! I’m Lauren and I’m the Secretary of the Teen SOYO in the Diocese of Los Angeles and the West! DLAW!!! Well, let me tell you a bit about myself. I’m a sophomore at
John
Burroughs
High School where I partake in Dance and other academic clubs. I’m active in my parish ( St. Nicholas Cathedral in LA!!!) Teen SOYO and my church in general. I’m really excited about this year’s SOYO! We’ve got a great group of officers this year and Katrina and Fr. Chris are amazing! I got started in SOYO when I was 11 years old. That was the same year I started my own personal crusade against the “Kid’s Club” at the conferences. Ever since then, I’ve wanted to be apart of it so badly. My sister was always holding an office and I couldn’t wait to hold one for myself. And now, I’m finally here and ready to do anything for you guys! Just say the word and I’m there! I hope everyone has a great year in their SOYO chapters and grows together as we serve the Lord. I love you all and may God Bless you!
