Stay Aflare Volunteer Initiative

Volunteer.Serve. Inspire.Stay Aflare.

A Houston volunteer movement founded by DJ Ken — turning people who care into people who show up for seniors, neighbors and families across the city.

About

Start by serving.
Grow by leading.

Stay Aflare began with a simple idea from DJ Ken: the energy people bring to a dance floor can be brought to their community. Every volunteer hour builds the next leader — and every leader brings in more neighbors who serve.
