YCS School Based Programs

YCS staff work closely with school staff and students to create a culture of service. Some of the ways we achieve this include:

Weekly service opportunities – this can be achieved through student clubs, lunch time activities, and/or after school projects. 

School-wide service events – Events typically are either Service Days where YCS connects students with a variety of service field trips or activities or a service fair where we invite community partners to share their service opportunities with students. 

Service hour verification – YCS processes students’ reported service hours from a variety of agencies for graduation requirements, transcript recognition, or class assignments. 

President’s Volunteer Service Award Certification – YCS patterns with schools to offer their students certification for the nationally recognized President’s Volunteer Service Award. 

Service-Learning Consulting – YCS consults with school staff on a variety of topics that can include: incorporating meaningful service learning into curriculum, understanding what is considered “service,” and helping to create service projects utilizing our many connections in the community.
