Holiday Youth Ambassadors Program
New in 2025
Are you a youth (12-18) looking for a meaningful way to serve your community?
Want to practice your marketing, fundraising, & communication skills?
The Love Fund for Children wants your help!
We are excited to kick off the inaugural year of our Holiday Youth Ambassadors program. Our goal is to provide opportunities for Kansas City youth (12-18 years) to serve underprivileged teens in our community through our Sack it for Santa program. In 2024, the Love Fund provided gifts to 2,176 teens. We expect this need to increase in 2025, and we would love to partner with you to serve this often forgotten group.
As a Youth Ambassador, your primary focus will be to promote our Sack it for Santa program and collect financial or new, physical gifts. We also encourage you to attend one in-person volunteer each month (September-December) to prepare for the sack distribution and further your involvement with the Love Fund.
If you are interested in learning more about the program, please complete the Ambassador Interest Form.
We will be hosting a virtual kick off call on Tuesday, September 2nd at 6 p.m. to provide more information. The link will be shared once you complete the Interest Form.
