The Hopeful Hearts Foundation is pleased to announce the launch of its Summer Impact Series 2026, a four-week community service programme designed to empower young people to make a positive difference across Antigua and Barbuda.

Beginning Saturday, July 25, 2026, the Summer Impact Series will bring together youth between the ages of 11 and 18 for four consecutive weekends of meaningful initiatives focused on volunteerism, leadership development, community engagement, and social impact.

Founded by youth advocate and National Youth Ambassador Kristine Louisa, the Hopeful Hearts Foundation continues its mission of inspiring young people to become active changemakers while addressing the needs of vulnerable communities throughout the nation.

Participants will have the opportunity to take part in a variety of projects aimed at giving back to Antigua and Barbuda, including community outreach activities, environmental initiatives, educational support programmes, charitable drives, and volunteer service projects. Through these experiences, young people will gain valuable leadership skills, build lasting friendships, and contribute to causes that create positive change.

“The Summer Impact Series is about showing young people that they have the power to make a difference right now,” said Kristine Louisa, Founder and CEO of the Hopeful Hearts Foundation. “We want to create opportunities for youth to serve their communities, develop their leadership abilities, and understand the importance of giving back while building a generation of compassionate leaders.”

The initiative forms part of the Foundation’s ongoing commitment to youth empowerment and community development. Since its establishment, Hopeful Hearts Foundation has impacted more than 1,000 individuals through educational programmes, charitable initiatives, school outreach activities, and community service projects.

Youth between the ages of 11 and 18 who are interested in participating are encouraged to register early and commit to all four weekends of activities. Spaces are limited.
