YUST PUST Foundation
Our Mission
YUST PUST Foundation (YPF) is committed to advancing educational and humanitarian efforts in Northeast Asia through Christian-based spiritual, academic, and financial resources in North America.
About Us

In pursuit of this vision, YPF:
- Facilitates and mobilizes support from North America
- Acts as the main source of communication in North America for YUST, PUST, and the Children Feeding Program

Our Projects
YUST
Currently in a transition period of becoming a privatized university, YUST was the first Chinese joint-venture university in the Yanbian Autonomous Prefecture and grew to become one of the country’s top universities. The university boasted an international faculty and ensured students graduated with tri-lingual fluency. More importantly, values of integrity and service were instilled throughout the campus and student experience.
PUST
PUST is the first private foreign university to operate within its country and offers both graduate and undergraduate degrees. Its goal is to provide students with a high quality education that will empower them to become positive economic and intellectual contributors in their country and world. This will in turn allow the country to contribute as a constructive member within the international community.
Children Feeding Program
The Children Feeding Program is a charitable program that provides humanitarian aid for children aged 10 and under, primarily in the region’s rural areas. Administrators of the program directly purchase food, milk, medicine, and clothing and personally verify that the supplies have been delivered directly to the children, who are housed by local caretakers. No monetary funds are distributed through this program.
