Zoe Thompson
I am Zoe Thompson to be the President of the YVCKC Youth Advisory Board this year! I love being on YAB because it gives me an opportunity to have an impact on the projects and events in my community, as well as being a great way to reach out to and help other kids become more motivated to serve. I hope to gain a better understanding of ways in which I can encourage others to contribute to the betterment of our society this year, as well as developing as a leader. I am currently involved in orchestra, Key Club, Youth Court and NHS as a senior at Blue Valley Northwest.
Caroline Lubbe
Hi! My name is Caroline Lubbe. I am currently in 8th grade at Oxford Middle Schools. I started my journey with YVC this past summer. I like to volunteer because I know that I can make an impact on the world. At school, I am involved in STUCO, theater, jazz band, concert band and taekwondo. My favorite YVC memory was being able to play with babies.
Rose Lubbe
Greetings! I am Rose Lubbe and I am an 8th grader and Oxford Middle School. In my spare time, I like to do art, hangout with friend and family. My favorite YVC memory was helping little kids learn how to walk. I like volunteering because it makes an impact on people's lives and I can see how it affects them. Outside of YVC, I am currently involved in rebel and theater at my school.
Patton Meacham
My involvement with YVC over the past three years has helped me develop a commitment to a lifetime of community service. Growing up in an affluent area of Johnson County can cause you to be somewhat sheltered from the difficulties and struggles of others living in your greater community. Involvement in YVC has allowed me to gain a much better awareness and understanding of these needs and challenges. Through my volunteering, I’ve seen firsthand how one person can truly make a difference. Small acts of kindness, when multiplied by many people, can change the world! As the Vice President on the Youth Advisory Board, I organize events that help youth become more engaged in giving back to their community. In the words of Winston Churchill, “we make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give”.

Aislinn Kinsella

Aside from volunteering, I am involved in Cross Country, Debate, Band,Harry Potter Club and the Youth and Government at my school. My greatest passions include reading, taking long walks in nature, and yoga. Being a YAB member has given me the opportunity to serve my community on a larger scale, and it has made me both a better person and a better leader.

Peyton Young
My name is Peyton Young and I am a crescent. I am so grateful to be a part of the YAB committee. YAB inspires me to help and try to inspire people that need it most. It makes me feel super amazing to help out people.
Kelly Knief
My name is Kelly Knief and I am currently a sophomore at the Barstow School. I enjoy dancing, hanging with friends, spending time with my dog and eating food. My favorite YVC memory is attending the YVC Summit 2018 in Charleston, South Carolina. I like to volunteer because it boosts ego and helps the community. In school, I am involved on the dance team, pep club, french club and the kariessentes.
Michael Kates
My name is Michael Kates and I am in 7th grade at Delta Woods Middle School. My favorite thing to do is to stay in the house all day and be a hermit. My favorite YVC memory was cutting down honeysuckle during Summer of Service.
Lauren Harper
Hey guys! My name is Lauren Harper and I am a Freshman at Olathe East. I am involved in the Yearbook, GSA club (Gay Straight Alliance club), and Theater.
I like to read, watch makeup artists on YouTube, try different makeup looks and hair do’s on me and my friends. In my free time, I like to sit on the couch, watch Netflix and eat lots of food. Participating in YVC has opened my eyes to another world and has made me look at things in a different light. I don’t look at life and only watch out for myself. I go out of my way to make sure that people are okay. YVC has made me a lot more compassionate about giving.
My favorite YVC memory was helping out children at Northland Headstart. All of the kids seemed to really like me and I loved reading them books before they’d lie down for nap time.
