Get Involved
If you are ages 15-18, you can join a new generation of young leaders serving communities across the Southeast through direct outreach, public health-minded initiatives, food access efforts, events, and regionally coordinated service opportunities.
If you’re ready to get involved now, fill out our online application form.
Below you’ll find more details on the ways you can make an impact.
1. Join our Service Network
Students can get involved through direct outreach, food access support, regional service projects, research-based initiatives, and public health-minded community events across the Southeast. Whether serving at a local activation or contributing to a broader regional effort, volunteers become part of a youth-led network rooted in dignity, responsibility, and measurable impact.
New members are introduced to a service model built on outreach, coordination, and community care – giving every student a meaningful way to contribute to public health and wellbeing in their region.
2. Apply to Lead a Project or Regional Initiative
Students looking to take on a greater leadership role can apply to support regional initiatives, help guide service efforts, or contribute to new ideas through our youth-led leadership structure. Across Grace National, young people help coordinate outreach, strengthen partnerships, support research, and shape projects that respond to real community needs.
This is a space for students who want to do more than participate – it is for those ready to help build the systems, planning, and follow-through that sustain meaningful service across the region.
Individuals and groups can support the Cross-Community Food Network by helping strengthen food access efforts that reach communities through regional coordination, local partnerships, and dignity-centered distribution. The CCFN is a youth-led model designed to reduce barriers to care and bring support closer to where people live.
Operating across multiple regions, the network reflects our broader commitment to public health, community resilience, and practical service that is responsive, relational, and rooted in real need.
