Youth volunteer 22,764 hours in ``Volunteer for 15`` challenge through partnership between Youth Volunteer Corps and 15 and The Mahomies Foundation.
Kansas City, MO — Youth Volunteer Corps (YVC), in partnership with the 15 and the Mahomies Foundation, is proud to announce the success of its fourth annual “Volunteer for 15” program. The initiative challenges youth to dedicate at least 15 hours of service to their communities, and this year, participants exceeded expectations in a big way.
More than 2,000 youth across five countries (United States, Canada, Uganda, Nigeria, and Algeria) contributed 92,714 hours of service, a 15% increase from last year. This represents over $3.2 million in value to the communities they served. On average, each youth contributed 44 hours, with four outstanding participants surpassing 500 hours of service. The top volunteer, Carmela from Killeen, Texas, contributed an inspiring 528 hours this year.
“I’m incredibly proud of the impact these young volunteers made this year through the ‘Volunteer for 15’ program,” said Patrick Mahomes. “$3.2 million in impact through this program is incredible, and it shows what’s possible when we come together to serve our communities.”
Success!
