Generation SERVE Youth & Families

We love serving our community. Not too long ago we needed help like the Hope Food Pantry provides, so this is our chance to give back."

​-Parent of 7 and 4 year old volunteers

I feel like Generation SERVE has given me a drive to do good for our community and to just do the tiniest things to make a person's day better."

​-Generation SERVE Teen Leader

I love seeing how the big kids model for the younger ones - my kids love shadowing the big kids and working together."

​-Parent of 5 and 3 year old volunteers

I appreciate the doors that Generation SERVE opens for our family to volunteer with a variety of organizations. There is no way we would have found these volunteer opportunities without the help of Generation SERVE."

​-Parent of 13 and 14 year old volunteers and Teen Leaders

I would not be doing the work I am doing today without Generation SERVE! They taught me that taking action to care for those around you is one of the best things you can be doing with your life. I am happy to still be involved with the organization today and all of the wonderful things it does to better the community!"
