We are a non-profit organization founded in 2004 to provide a platform for teens who want to volunteer in their communities. We place members in groups of twenty by grade level, gender, and local area. We do offer individual and family memberships for those who wish to be more independent or where it is difficult to find more members to form a group. Members elect their group officers, lead their own meetings, and decide together how to serve the community. Members can also choose to volunteer on their own. Members are required to serve at least 25 hours per year and attend group meetings
