🎉 HAPPY 31ST BIRTHDAY TO OUR PRESIDENT, Markel Goode! 🎉

Today, the Youth Alliance Matters Foundation family celebrates the man who continues to lead, serve and show up for our youth and our community.

Markel’s dedication goes far beyond his title as President. He leads by example, gives his time, encourages our youth and continues to represent the values YAMF stands for.

Today is even more special as he celebrates his 31st birthday AND officially puts on the rank of Tech Sergeant in the United States Air Force! 🇺🇸👏🏽

Your discipline, perseverance, leadership and commitment to service inspire our youth, our team and our community.

President Goode, thank you for everything you pour into YAMF and the people we serve.

Please help us wish our President a BIG HAPPY 31ST BIRTHDAY and congratulate TECH SERGEANT GOODE on this well-earned accomplishment! 🎂🎉🇺🇸

We are proud of you, President Goode! ❤️

A moment worth celebrating! ❤️
Harper Grace is living proof of why we do what we do at Youth Alliance Matters Foundation!

Through our partnership with Max CPR & Medical Training, we are teaching our youth life saving skills, building confidence, and preparing them to step up when it matters most.

Harper, we are incredibly proud of you! Your courage, quick thinking, and willingness to help someone in need speak volumes about the young person you are becoming.

A special thank you to Maxine Chappell and the entire Max's CPR and Medical Training team for pouring your knowledge into our youth and helping us turn education into real life impact.

This is what happens when a community invests in its young people. We are raising a generation of lifesavers! ❤️🚑

With love and pride,
Youth Alliance Matters Foundation

🏃🏾‍♂️🔥 WHO’S READY TO PUT IN SOME MILES WITH OUR PRESIDENT?!

Our very own YAMF President, Markel Goode has been putting in WORK! He’s currently training for a half marathon and has already worked his way up to running 10 MILES! 💪🏾👏🏾

Now we’re thinking… why not turn his journey into something BIGGER?

We’re considering launching MILES THAT MATTER, a youth fitness initiative where our young people can come out, run, walk, work out, stretch, and train alongside Markel while learning about discipline, consistency, accountability, and healthy living.

You don’t have to be an athlete. You don’t have to be fast. You just have to be willing to SHOW UP!

And here’s the bigger picture: We don’t want this to stop when Markel crosses that finish line. We’d love to turn it into an ongoing program that keeps our youth active, motivated, and connected.

📣 PARENTS, YOUTH & COMMUNITY MEMBERS WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU!

Would you or your child participate if YAMF hosted something like this?

🏃🏾‍♂️ Drop a 🏃🏾 if you’re ready to RUN!

🚶🏾 Drop a 🚶🏾 if you’d rather WALK!

💪🏾 Drop a 💪🏾 if you’re coming for the FITNESS!

❤️ Drop a ❤️ if you’d love to volunteer or support!

Let’s show our president some love and remind him that every mile he’s putting in can inspire somebody else to take their FIRST STEP!

Every Mile Builds a Stronger You. 💚

Harper Grace, YOU are the reason we do what we do!

On behalf of Youth Alliance Matters Foundation and Max's CPR and Medical Training we want to recognize this extraordinary young lady for her courage, compassion, and willingness to step up when it mattered most.

Harper recently participated in one of our CPR training classes, and on September 15, 2026, at just 14 years old, she put those lifesaving skills into action, assisting another responder during a medical emergency at Walmart.

Harper, you didn’t hesitate. You saw someone in need, recognized that you could help, and took action. We couldn’t be prouder of you!

To her parents, thank you for raising a young lady who understands the importance of serving others. And to everyone who has helped shape her into the remarkable young woman she is today, this moment is a testament to that love and guidance.

This is why Youth Alliance Matters Foundation exists. We don’t just want to host events or teach classes. We want to equip our youth with the knowledge, confidence, and courage to make a real difference in their communities.

Harper, you’ve reminded us that our work matters and that age does not determine the impact you can have on someone’s life.

We are incredibly proud to have played a small part in preparing you for this moment. Please know that your YAMF family is cheering you on! We are also keeping this gentleman and his family in our thoughts and prayers for a full recovery.

You are a shining example of what it means to put knowledge into ACTION!

With love and pride,

Youth Alliance Matters Foundation 💜
