You have the opportunity to join a group of dedicated students as we tackle issues facing our community!
PASTA operates in chapters of 4-6 students who work together to meet our mission: kids helping kids in our community. We do this through project-based volunteering where you use your interest/passions to help other kids in Loudoun County. Projects have ranged from providing STEM classes at afterschool programs, giving guitar lessons, putting together passion kits that explore their love of watercolor, teaching kids about managing emotions, planning Secret Santa events...and so much more.
As a PASTA member, you'll have the opportunity to participate in leadership positions, develop skills related to project management and budgeting, and use empathy to help your community. All new chapters receive guidance from a mentor and PASTA's Board of Directors.
PASTA members typically report spending 3-6 hours per month planning their PASTA projects, and 8-12 hours per year executing their innovative projects.
Eligibility: All kids in 6th - 10th grade are eligible to start a chapter. We accept chapters from anywhere around the world, but our hub is Loudoun County, Virginia.
Step 1: Form your group of 4-6 students. We recommend you work with your friends and that all of you come from the same area.
Step 2: Email pastateens@gmail.com to start the enrollment process!
We look forward to working with you! Enrollment closes in September.
