Inspire and Mentor
KNO Teen Leaders bring each KNO alive, one Saturday night a month, as they participate as group leaders, unit leaders, or support staff at the Pearl Street Family YMCA.
Kids need role models and mentors to be all they want to be.
Being a Kids Night Out Teen Leader is extremely beneficial for anyone who has the ambition and community spirit to help uplift others.
Lead the Next Generation
Expand your leadership skills, amplify your personal growth, make a difference in the lives of people around you, and have fun working with elementary school kids. The Y provides each teen with training, written and verbal feedback, and thoughtful staff to assist in their development. Open to Grades: 8-12.
Teens interested in becoming a KNO Teen Leader must attend one of the orientations prior to attending Kids Night Out.

"I love being a volunteer for Kids Night Out because it means I get to work with these kids and give parents a break for one night for several hours. It’s also an amazing chance to let out your inner child again. It's probably the one night a month that I can run around.”
-- Sirena Jove, KNO Teen Volunteer
