About Social Diversity for Children Foundation
In 2010, David Wang founded Social Diversity for Children Foundation (SDC) with a singular mission: empowering youth to empower children with special needs. Driven by a deep sense of love and compassion, David set out to create a space where children with special needs could feel supported, safe, and accepted—a place they could call their "second home."
David’s vision took shape through a variety of social programs that tapped into creative, academic, and emotional development. From art and music to math and drama, these programs were designed to engage children in ways that not only fostered learning but also built lasting friendships and confidence.
“From small beginnings, SDC has grown into a community where every child, regardless of their ability, can find a place to shine,” says David, reflecting on the Foundation’s journey.
Over the years, David's dedication drew attention and support from around the world, growing SDC into a global movement. His passion has brought communities together, offering resources and opportunities to children with special needs, while inspiring youth to lead with compassion. By expanding SDC’s reach, David has ensured that the Foundation can meet the evolving needs of the community, aiming to cultivate a culture of inclusivity, enthusiasm, and understanding.
Through his leadership, David has demonstrated how one individual’s passion can mobilize global efforts, bringing together diverse voices in pursuit of a shared goal: to create a more compassionate and inclusive society for all.
