Volunteers hit the phones for Operation K.E.Y.S. We are grateful for everyone who participated in the Operation K.E.Y.S. Phone Bank on Aug. 29. Volunteers made phone calls to reconnect out-of-school youth with educational opportunities.

Volunteers are also needed for the 2023 Operation K.E.Y.S. (Keeping Every Youth in School) Walk! The operation is a dropout recovery walk in which volunteers visit homes of out-of-school youth and reconnect them with educational opportunities.

The walk begins with a rally at 9 a.m. Sept. 9 at Moody High School.
