Youth Central has started something called the Pay it Forward project with Kids Up Front, where we recognize youth with a “pay it forward” attitude. I am very proud to present one of our nominees, Rahul Arora.
Rahul is in Grade 11 at Sir Winston Churchill High School in northwest Calgary. With many hobbies such as tutoring, volunteering, baking, drumming and hanging out with friends, Rahul really stands out in our volunteering community. Along with contributing over 63 volunteer hours to the Calgary community, he also volunteers once a week at the Salvation Army and the Drop-In Centre. He is also responsible for compiling the hours for Churchill’s YVC club, which contains almost 400 students.
A lot of us may be wondering what got Rahul into being such a dedicated volunteer. Well, when he volunteered at the Salvation Army for the first time, just over a year ago, the work they did really had an impact on him. The work that the Salvation Army does is truly incredible, and it wouldn’t be possible without volunteers like Rahul.
All of us can follow in Rahul’s lead and participate in making the world a better place!
