We are fortunate to have a hard-working mission-driven First Serve Board. Today we are highlighting board members, Kevin and Kelsey Anderson. Kelsey serves as Treasurer of the Board, and Kevin, a tennis professional (former #5 in the world!) helps us with Tennis ProAms that fund our mentoring programs for the youth that need our investment. Thank you for all that you do for First Serve!

As 2025 comes to a close, and 2026 comes into view, First Serve mentors continue to care for young people living in areas that require special investment. Please consider making an end of year or an early 2026 gift to benefit the youth we serve—that number is growing!

It’s GIVING TUESDAY, and we ask that this year you would choose to donate to First Serve USA to help us in furthering our mission of empowering youth to lead, as high school and college students serve as mentors and role models to children from within their own communities.

To donate to our cause is to make an investment in a better future for us all, starting with the communities all around us most in need.

We are proud to present our new First Serve Leader and Site Supervisor, Aswand Cruickshank!

Aswand leads First Serve’s West Palm Beach Mentor Team as they work to enrich the lives of young students through our exciting new partnership with The Center for Creative Education.

Aswand is a Multi Published author, former Division one college football player, and educator committed to help our students thrive through innovative teamwork. By blending his real-life sports experiences with practical everyday life skills, he is able to help lead our students to become thoughtful, strategic leaders who can change their community for the better.

We are grateful to have such a hard working, dedicated, and intentional team player in Aswand, and we are excited to count him as an addition to our team!

Last weekend our partners over at The Banner Lake Club hosted our First Serve Annual Leadership Summit, where students across all of our various sites were able to meet up, grow together, and acquire new tools to change their communities!

This year’s theme was on Emotional Intelligence, a key component in our programing, and certainly a skill that is much needed in our world today. We are so proud of our incredible team, and we can’t wait to see how these young leaders will continue to make a change in our world for the better!

First Serve is excited to announce our new partnership with the Center for Creative Education!

Over the past few weeks the First Serve Staff has selected, trained, and deployed a terrific new team of high school students and young adults who are now actively serving as mentors and role models to young children in the West Palm Beach community. Each of these mentors adds such a unique and inspiring dynamic to the program and we are already seeing the positive impact of their work with the children!

We are extremely proud to partner with such an incredible organization, and we can’t wait to see all the good that comes from it!

This work truly couldn’t be possible without the support of people like you, so we ask you to please consider donating to help us continue to do this meaningful work!

Wishing a very Happy Birthday to our First Serve President, Cynthia Kanai!

Cynthia, your passion, dedication, and genuine care for the children we serve is present at every moment—whether you are right in front of a child, reading a book, asking a thoughtful question, or providing some wonderful snacks, or behind the scenes, making sure the kids have all the resources we can give them (including snacks, which you also probably made), your thoughtfulness is evident in all you do. We are so happy to celebrate you today!

Last, but certainly not least, now to congratulate the final recipient of this year’s First Serve Scholarship, Albert Davis.

Albert has been working with First Serve for a long time now, and so we thought it best to include his scholarship application essay in its entirety.

All of us are very proud of you, Albert!
