2024 Summer of Service Together!

Summer of Service 2024 banner

Calling all Bay Area high school students – come make a difference and have a summer of fun!

Join High School students from across the San Francisco Bay Area for 6 weeks of summer program where you will learn skills to make a difference in the community. The YCS Summer of Service Together is a service program for youth to engage in community leadership and civic engagements. Youth will have the opportunity to work together to design and plan service projects, develop messaging and storytelling skills, and practice leadership and public speaking skills in a supportive, fun, engaging environment. 

This summer we will have weekly themes and youth will be divided into cohorts. Each cohort will work on a different project to be presented to the greater group at the end of the week. 

YCS Scholarship

The YCS Scholarship is intended to support YCS student leaders’ participation in programs and their leadership pursuits. Financial restrictions shouldn’t be a barrier to participating in YCS programming. This scholarship is one small way we can help support access to YCS programs and is intended for those who would struggle to participate in YCS Programs without financial support. Students may use the scholarship in any way that will support their education. For example, some students may use their scholarship money towards costs related to transportation, school supplies or computers, or other supports like groceries and internet. 

Submissions for the YCS Scholarships are rolling, meaning applications can be submitted at any time. Application approval and funds received may take up to 4 weeks. Eligible students may apply for a YCS Scholarship of up to $245 per semester ($450 annually). Applications received after December 1st will be considered for the Spring Semester. Please note, there are limited scholarships available each year. Eligibility is determined by the student’s assessment of their own family’s needs and the completion of the application.

*There is a max of $495 dollars that an individual may receive from awards[link to the awards page]  and scholarships in a 12-month time frame. Scholarship funds and Award winnings will be adjusted to accommodate this max.*
