CONNECTING YOUTH WITH MEANINGFUL VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES
TOGETHER WE BUILD STRONGER COMMUNITIES
The Young Hearts and Hands Foundation (YHAH)
We are a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in Katy, Texas by community volunteers Annie Hilton and Kristi Carroll. Inspired by years of hands-on service, they recognized a growing need to connect local nonprofits seeking support with young people eager to give back.
YHAH was created to bridge that gap, empowering youth to serve, lead, and make a lasting impact in their communities.
