Teen Volunteer Match Connects 50+ Youth
with Community Causes
The first annual Teen Volunteer Match, held Tuesday, April 22 at the Broomfield Community Center, was a huge success! More than 50 teens gathered to explore volunteer opportunities with 20 local nonprofits, learning how they can give back and get involved in meaningful ways. From event support to hands-on service, the event opened the door for youth to make a real difference in their community. With summer just around the corner, participants are well on their way to locking in both fun and productivity while supporting causes that matter.
