Our Staff
YCS is built around a team of caring, talented, and considerate people, all driven by their passion for community service. Ours is a culture of learning and innovation, where mentoring and opportunities for leadership go hand in hand. Every member of our staff and board of directors is approachable and values the contributions of every member of our expansive team — from full-time staff to one-time volunteers.
If you think you’d like to join our team, please have a look at current opportunities. We’d be thrilled to talk to you about your own goals and service-based interests!
