Seventeen-year-old violin instructor Autumn Arsenault, one of our youngest volunteer teacher-mentors, has been selected as an honoree via a national search for kids doing good things in their communities. She and 11 other youth from across the U.S. are being recognized by the Points of Light Foundation for their outstanding work. Points of Light’s youth enterprise, GenerationON, provides programs, tools and resources to engage kids and teens in service and volunteering.

Autumn, a junior at River’s Edge Christian Academy and the reigning Miss Tennessee Outstanding Teen, will have her work featured by GenerationON in a video on the website of this program’s sponsor, U.S. Cellular. Plus, the Joy of Music School will receive a grant from U.S. Cellular in support the work Autumn and her fellow volunteers do here. Building communities through volunteer service is what it’s all about. Congratulations, Autumn!
