Become a KPB Teen
We offer weekly community service hours at different locations every Tuesday from 10am-12pm. We have more than 10 edible gardens that need caring for. We also need help on other days of the week with litter pick-ups, recycling events, community festivals and lots more. KPB Teens are notified of opportunities each week and can opt in or out; it’s that simple! No long-term commitment required. Certification of completed volunteers hours is provided on request.Â
Win-win for Students & the community
Donating time to beautify and improve the community we live in is rewarding and enriching for young people who grow to care about the health of their hometown. Community service hours are increasingly important for high school students to add to applications for college, jobs, internships, scholarships and awards. It can be tricky to find non-profits that offer volunteer opportunities that fit into a teen’s busy schedule. With KPB, the opportunities are continuous and flexible, varying from day-long events to a few hours a month. In addition, students gain experiences they can write about for college essays and interviews.Â
