PHILIPSBURG:--- With strong community interest and teams continuing to sign up, organizers of the Impact Quest Scavenger Hunt have officially extended the registration deadline to February 22, 2026. The event will take place on Saturday, February 28, 2026, at the SXM Padel Club (PDP Court), as part of Sint Maarten’s kickoff celebration of the United Nations-declared International Year of Volunteers 2026.
The extension offers one final opportunity for teams to register for what is shaping up to be one of the island’s most dynamic volunteer-driven events of the year. Organized by Volunteer.sx in partnership with the St. Maarten Development Fund (SMDF), Foresee Foundation (4C), and the SXM Padel Club, Impact Quest invites the entire community to join in a day of connection, creativity, and collective impact, while placing a special focus on empowering youth through volunteerism. Teams of four to five participants will complete mini-missions inspired by real acts of service across St. Maarten, blending teamwork, creativity, and community impact.
This is not your average scavenger hunt. Teams will use a dedicated event app to access their missions, upload photos of completed challenges, answer impact-based questions, and earn points directly on a digital, interactive platform. The app adds strategy, accountability, and a competitive edge to every task while keeping the experience organized and engaging. To ensure full participation, teams will receive day-specific data so they can stay connected, access the app seamlessly, and focus entirely on completing their missions and making an impact.
Thanks to the generous support of event sponsors, youth teams can participate free of charge.
A limited number of teams with at least two participants under 25 also qualify for full sponsorship coverage. This ensures that financial barriers do not prevent young people from engaging in volunteerism and nation-building. Spots are limited and will be confirmed on a first-come, first-served basis.
The standard team registration fee remains USD 250, which supports event logistics, materials, safety coordination, and overall execution.
Impact Quest is more than a race for points and prizes. It is a platform for youth leadership, civic pride, and collective action. Teams will engage directly with local NGOs and community initiatives through creative and hands-on service challenges, demonstrating that volunteerism can be both meaningful and energizing.
The event will conclude with a celebratory Social Mixer at SXM Padel Club’s Port de Plaisance location, featuring music, games, prizes, and recognition of top-performing teams.
Registration closes February 22, 2026. Teams are encouraged to secure their spot immediately, especially those seeking sponsored youth participation. Register now at: bit.ly/impactquest
As Sint Maarten embraces the International Year of Volunteers, Impact Quest sets the tone for a year centered on collaboration, community engagement, and youth-driven impact. Youth engagement is not charity. It is nation-building in action.
