Help kids in your community - start a PASTA chapter!

Save to Favorites

We're a student-led nonprofit based in Loudoun County, Virginia with the mission of kids helping kids in the community! Our chapters impact the community by planning and executing their own service projects through the resources and guidance of our nonprofit. In PASTA, you translate your passions and interests into projects. Examples of past projects include guitar and dance lessons, a STEM fair for elementary students, creating "mental health" kits, a "healthy heart" workshop to promote fitness, making an anti-bullying video, Christmas secret Santa activities, and many more. YOU choose your project and we'll guide you with resources, guidance and mentorship every step of the way!

Responsibilities/qualifications for chapters include:

- Consist of 4-6 middle or high school students in Loudoun County, VA with an interest in volunteering

- Devote 4-5hrs/month to do 4-5 service projects annually.

- Prioritize PASTA and uphold our brand and mission.

Benefits for PASTA members and chapters include:

- Do good in your community. Use your talents and passions to help others.

- Learn how to do projects from an idea to execution to evaluation.

- A learning lab: learn soft skills, leadership and mentorship skills, and business skills.

To learn more about PASTA and how to start a chapter, all you need to do is to find a team of 4-6 (including yourself), and sign up for a virtual interest meeting using this link: https://calendly.com/pastateens/chapter-interest-meeting. Once you do so (which we recommend doing ASAP to have a better chance of securing enrollment!) we'll be in touch about arranging the meeting and next steps.
