KANSAS CITY, MO — Shae Smith, 15, of Bolivar and Chloe Christensen, 14, of Lake Lotawana have been named Missouri's top two youth volunteers of 2019 by The Prudential Spirit of Community Awards. It is a nationwide program honoring young people for outstanding acts of volunteerism. Today the girls join us to discuss their organizations. Shae began a campaign called “Catching the Curve,” to raise awareness of scoliosis, prevent spinal deformities through early screening, and boost the confidence of people like herself who are living with this condition. Chloe has been working with Soles4Souls, a nonprofit organization that sends shoes around the globe to children and adults who can't afford footwear. Both girls will be honored at a conference in Washington, D.C, this May.
