Well, April is National Volunteer Month.

But if you ask the high school student you are about to meet, she will tell you every month should be about giving back.

I agree with you.

Now, this team founded a nonprofit dedicated to teaching young people to lead through service.

We caught up with her and one of her board members after they wrapped up the nonprofit's first major event.

-Hi.

My name is Aiyana Castro.

I'm a junior at Arbor View High School, and I'm the founder of Creating a Giving Culture LV.

So this nonprofit, this was an idea that I had at 11 years old.

When I started giving back to the community, I was told no a lot from nonprofits, that I had to be 13 years old.

But I was only 11, so I started my own initiatives.

(Emylia Camacho) I got involved because I saw the Creating a Giving Culture LV flyer on Instagram.

So I messaged Aiyana, and I asked her if I could be one of the board members.

-Recently, we had this event where it was called the Community Giving Carnival, and we had around 200 youth volunteers come out.

So at the community carnival, we put together care packages.

And this is what we had inside: We had fruit snacks, chips, trail mix, a juice box, granola bars, and a water.

-We also had toothpaste, toothbrushes, and then we had body wash, shampoo, conditioner, and lotion.

-I think it's important for K-12 to get out there and serve their community, because it teaches them leadership and compassion.

-We're giving back to the community in a way that really changes how people view younger kids.

-It was always my dream to get youth out and volunteering, and to see 200 K-12 youth come out and volunteer was really like a full circle moment.

-Amazing work!

What an accomplishment.

And you should know, we are not the only ones who have taken notice of Aiyana.

She was recently recognized by the Clark County Commission as part of Women's History Month, alongside other distinguished women here in our community.

Well deserved.
