About us
Net Positive is a student-led nonprofit organization, recognized by the US Youth Forum, that unites badminton enthusiasts in San Mateo to rally for sustainable and equitable housing. Through organized matches, community events, and local partnerships, we aim to create a positive impact both on and off the court—fostering awareness, raising funds, and building a more inclusive community.
Core Objectives:
-
Engage badminton fans and players in regular recreational and competitive play.
-
Educate the community about sustainable and equitable housing through sport-centered events.
-
Support local housing initiatives via fundraising tournaments, volunteer drives, and awareness campaigns.
-
Connect students, athletes, and advocates to promote social responsibility and active citizenship.
All proceeds for our first tournament will go toward global efforts like Habitat for Humanity and the United Nations housing initiatives!

Hi, my name is Jaiden Ou and I’m a sophomore at Aragon High School. I’m the Founder and President of Net Positive and want to see my efforts make a positive change for the world. I started Net Positive so I could bring my passion and mission together. At my school, I’m a key member of my Varsity Badminton team, and the Captain of JV basketball. I have experience running a successful company and I’m super passionate and committed to Net Positive. I believe in Net Positive's future and can't wait to see it fully blossom.
