Charlie Mullaney, a seventh grader in Anchorage, is using his lawn care business to give back to his community while sharing his work on a YouTube channel.<\/p>\n

\"Norman<\/a>ANCHORAGE, Ky. \u2014<\/p>\n

Charlie Mulaney, a seventh grader in Anchorage, is combining entrepreneurship and community service by offering free lawn care and sharing his work on a YouTube channel. <\/p>\n

When he\u2019s not at school, reading, or playing sports like basketball and cross golf, Charlie spends his extra time helping his community and building his business. <\/p>\n

\u201cI decided to go into a neighborhood and just cut lawns for free that were overgrown, and use my gear to give back to the community when I had extra time,\u201d Charlie said. <\/p>\n

Charlie runs a home and lawn care business, but creating videos for his YouTube channel has become a fun and satisfying hobby. <\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve seen some other channels. And so I\u2019m like, well, why don\u2019t I start with myself,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n

Charlie launched his first videos in July and enjoys seeing the transformation of overgrown lawns. His father, Greg, finds Charlie\u2019s efforts inspiring and rewarding to watch.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s therapeutic just to watch, you know, those lines be cutting the grass or, you know, to see him power wash the front porch there. But more importantly, it\u2019s we\u2019ve been given a lot, and it\u2019s great to see him want to give back,\u201d Greg said. \u201cIt\u2019s just been really cool to see how proud he is of himself and, you know, for that, I\u2019m proud of him.\u201d<\/p>\n

Charlie\u2019s work has also taught him an important life lesson: \u201cI\u2019ve learned just to be kind, and maybe people will give back to you.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Charlie Mullaney, a seventh grader in Anchorage, is using his lawn care business to give back to his…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":624672,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[138,336,111,139,69],"class_list":["post-624671","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entrepreneurship","tag-business","tag-entrepreneurship","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/624671","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=624671"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/624671\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/624672"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=624671"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=624671"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=624671"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
