Volunteers at the YV5k

Just to update you on the YV5k, my team is currently $60 away from raising $2000! I am so humbled by the generosity of so many wonderful supporters! We are tallying up the race entries from Saturday as well as last minute donations, but we have met our initial $75,000 goal. Of our $155 million annual operating budget, we must raise $15 million from private donors, so the funds raised at the YV5k are vital to helping us in our mission of helping children and families live successfully.

If you are interested in volunteering your time to Youth Villages, I am hosting volunteer orientations on May 1st from 9am-10am and May 4th from 6pm-7pm. Volunteers are needed in many different areas, from events to tutoring to sponsoring birthday parties! We can accommodate volunteers at all of our 64 locations across the country, so even if you do not live in the Memphis area, you can get involved!
