We are pleased that the collaboration between Scott Otterbein, Katie Malcolm (also a head coach), the "Wicked Fast Track and Field" team, and "GIVE-Youth" fosters growth and development through volunteering and sports.
On October 15, 2022, we initiated and held an inclusive exhibition celebrating artists with special needs! GIVE-Youth that give back to our community and transforms lives. We held an art exhibition to showcase the passions of children with special needs.
This is a sensory friendly concert experience, a safe space where the guests are free to express themselves by moving around, singing, dancing, or shouting while enjoying our music.
We are so happy to be volunteering to show our love for the special needs community through music.
We collected 378 pounds of food for 2 months and drop them off at the Buck County Housing Group Community Food Pantry. Let's fight hunger together!

2022 Summer Volunteer Work!
GIVE-Youth has been working hard directing classes at Yuong Sang Church's Disability Love summer camp in 2023. Our main focus has been to inspire our community's youth to project their creativity through our volunteer-led class.
It's truly remarkable to see the bags and t-shirt designs created by children with disabilities. Their freedom of expression and rich creativity are truly impressive.
The experience of expressing their ideas and emotions through bag and t-shirt designs is invaluable for these children with disabilities. This kind of experience helps foster their creativity and self-confidence, laying a foundation for them to play larger roles in various domains in the future.
GIVE-Youth members delivered 10 pizzas and thank you notes to their local nursing home, Gwynedd Healthcare & Rehabilitation Center. They said they will share it with nurses, office workers and elderly people. As a thank you for donating, they also gave gifts to our members.
On September 11th, from 9 AM-4 PM, Antioch All Nations Church had a yard sale at 60A Garrett Road Upper Darby, PA, where Give-Youth members volunteered. Every item was sold for one dollar and the profits would go to helping people in need all summer clothes, that were not sold, were donated to Liberia. All GIVE-Youth members donated their own clothes, a few days in advance, to contribute with more items to put up for the yard sale. Our team showed up at 8:30 AM to help everyone set up the yard sale and, at 9 AM, as more and more people came to the sale we made sure to keep everything organized and clean. We were able to spread love and provide people with many clothing options all for the same low price!
GIVE-Youth members went to their local Fischer’s Park(Towamencin Township) to clean up the park. Thank you for helping out cleaning the environment!
GIVE-Youth members sanitized books and made gift bags with thank you cards and masks in a book drive for the Wissahickon Valley Public Library. Our goal was to give back to the people who have provided our community with knowledge. The members donated 320 books in two days.
Jianna Kim, the founder of GIVE-Youth, addressed the success of the GIVE-Youth Korea members' calendar initiative and their donation to the Special Olympics Montgomery County.
Delivering this donation is an honor and privilege. However, our work doesn’t stop here. Let this success be a stepping stone to even more significant initiatives, bigger projects, and deeper impacts. Let's continue to harness the power of youth to make a difference in our community and the world at large. 🤎🕊💪🏻
GIVE-Youth India recently conducted a heartwarming clothing donation drive at Holy Child School, located in Guwahati, Assam. The event brought smiles and joy to the children residing in the orphanage as they received a generous contribution of clothing.
Despite being from a difficult family background herself, Laura Dhwani tirelessly volunteers to help those in even more challenging circumstances in her community.
Caring for families in need is important. Elizabeth from Pennsylvania and Kaylee from New Jersey are active leaders in our group. Both have been supporting their elderly grandmothers, ensuring they receive the necessary care, including hospital admissions.
We were happy to see that the Special Olympics families were pleased with the snacks we prepared!
🍎We will bring healthy snacks and cold drinks for the Special Olympics Montgomery County Wicked Fast Long Distance Running and Walking team next Sunday as well.
Flautist Jianna and Pianist Allison volunteered at Penn Medicine Hospital in New Jersey. The holidays are typically a time for family, joy, and celebration, but for those in the hospital, it can be a challenging period, often marked by feelings of isolation or sadness. In this context, the presence of Jianna and Allison, along with their music, brings a much-needed sense of normalcy and joy to an otherwise difficult environment.
On June 25, 2020, GIVE-Youth distributed lemonade and baked brownies to collect and donate money to the Montgomery County Special Olympics in the Barn Plaza in Doylestown, PA. We stayed there from 11 AM until around 3 PM.
Because the weather was sunnier than usual, we sold a lot of lemonade to many thirsty customers that day. The brownies weren't as famous around noon since it was lunchtime for many, but plenty of people bought them before and after that time! Some people donated to the cause without wanting anything in return. Multiple people donated more than the price range of a dollar for a brownie or lemonade. Some even contributed up to 20 dollars! It was another successful operation; we raised 87 dollars for the Montgomery County Special Olympics!
We have countless memories from past volunteer activities beyond what’s mentioned here. For more detailed videos and timely updates, please visit @giveyouthorganization
What makes GIVE-Youth unique?
GIVE-Youth is unique in its commitment to empowering young people to grow as leaders and changemakers through hands-on fundraising initiatives and impactful volunteer events.
Unlike many organizations, we don’t just offer opportunities—we empower every member to lead their own service projects, encouraging them to pursue initiatives that align with their personal passions. This autonomy nurtures creativity and fosters a deeper sense of ownership over their impact.
Our mission and vision inspire members to become agents of change, stepping outside their comfort zones to discover a passion for helping others while growing into student leaders who drive meaningful social change.
Beyond leadership, GIVE-Youth emphasizes building a strong sense of community and collaboration, connecting members with people from diverse backgrounds and experiences. This focus on personal growth, social impact, and authentic connections is what truly sets us apart.
