Connecting youth with meaningful volunteer opportunities
Together we’ll build stronger communities

The Young Hearts and Hands Foundation (YHHF) is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded by Kristi Carroll, Annie Hilton, and Dawn Champagne—dedicated community volunteers from Katy, Texas. Inspired by years of service, they saw a growing need to connect local nonprofits in search of helping hands with youth eager to give back. YHHF was created to bridge that gap, empowering young people to make a lasting difference in their communities
