When Will Lourcey was six years old, he saw a man with a sign that said ‘Need a meal.’ He didn’t
understand. His parents explained that some people in his community didn’t have enough food to
eat. He wanted to do something about it, so he started an organisation called FROGS – Friends
Reaching Our Goals. FROGS aims are, on the one hand, to raise awareness of the problems of
hunger, and on the other hand, to raise money to help people in need. The organisation has raised
$20,000 for local food banks in Texas, which has provided more than 75,000 meals to people in
need. Will wants to eradicate hunger not only in his hometown, but throughout Texas, the United
States and the World.
My name is Paul and last year I joined CityYear, a youth organisation which works in poor
communities to try and reduce the numbers of teenagers dropping out of school. I’ve been a
volunteer for nine months. We find students who are at risk; those who skip school, are disruptive
or who are failing their courses, and give them support. We provide help for them in the classroom,
after-school tutoring, and, for older students, we give college and career guidance. All the
volunteers are young. Students find it easier to trust and confide in us because we are close in age,
and they can relate to us better. I get to know my students, who they are and what they have been
through. We aim to be good role models. CityYear volunteers have made a huge difference to the
lives of thousands of students, and transforme.
2. Who does the organization aim to help? This organization is on the one hand, to raise awareness of the problems of hunger,
and on the other hand, to raise money to help people in need.
3. What is Will’s ambition? Will wants to eradicate hunger not only in his hometown, but throughout Texas, the United States
and the World
4. Who does it aim to help? To children and young people who think about dropping out of education, to those who have
problems in the learning process, not only intellectually
5. Why does City Year use young volunteers? Because it is easier for young people to communicate with people of the same
age, also because young people can become more confident and thus obtain the city year objectives
