the Kansas City Interfaith Youth Alliance is a wonderful organization for youth to get involved in interfaith activities. On tomorrow, June 23, 2011, the KCIYA will be participating in a service project with the KC Urban Youth Center from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. The youth of the city are encouraged to get involved...you're not too young to make a difference!
