Activities or mission (Part I)

TO EMPOWER YOUTH LEADERSHIP THROUGH COMMUNITY SERVICE.

  • LEADERSHIP COUNCILSLAST ACADEMIC YEAR, NEARLY 100 STUDENTS FROM MORE THAN 60 SCHOOLS STEPPED INTO LEADERSHIP THROUGH YOUTH ACTION COUNCIL AND YOUTH PHILANTHROPY COUNCIL. THESE STUDENTS DID MORE THAN MEET. THEY IDENTIFIED REAL COMMUNITY CHALLENGES AND BUILT PRACTICAL RESPONSES. PARTICIPANTS STRENGTHENED SKILLS IN: PROJECT MANAGEMENT BUDGETING CONFLICT RESOLUTION TEAM COMMUNICATION PUBLIC LEADERSHIPYOUTH ACTION COUNCIL, OPEN TO AGES 13 TO 15, COMPLETED A DIRECT SERVICE PROJECT DESIGNED AND LED BY STUDENTS. YOUTH PHILANTHROPY COUNCIL, FOR GRADES 10 TO 12, MANAGED A COMPETITIVE, YOUTH LED GRANT PROCESS. STUDENTS REVIEWED PROPOSALS, DEBATED FUNDING PRIORITIES, AND AWARDED 20,000 DOLLARS TO FIVE LOCAL NONPROFITS.SUMMER AMBASSADORS EXTENDED THIS LEADERSHIP INTO THE SUMMER MONTHS, WITH YOUTH LEADING MULTIPLE SERVICE EVENTS ACROSS THE COMMUNITY. OUR IN SCHOOL CHANGEMAKERS PROGRAMS PARTNERED DIRECTLY WITH SCHOOLS TO HOST REGULAR LEADERSHIP MEETINGS AND SERVICE PROJECTS DURING THE ACADEMIC DAY.TOGETHER, THESE PROGRAMS MOVED STUDENTS FROM PARTICIPATION TO OWNERSHIP.

    Expenses $140,647

  • COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENTIN 2025, MORE THAN 600 YOUTH FROM 60 SCHOOLS SERVED THROUGH YOUTHSERVE. THEY CONTRIBUTED OVER 3,000 SERVICE HOURS ACROSS 42 EVENTS. STUDENTS SUPPORTED ORGANIZATIONS SUCH AS THE SALVATION ARMY, EAST LAKE FARMERS MARKET SENIOR BASKET PROGRAM, AND COOL GREEN TREES. SERVICE OPPORTUNITIES OCCURRED AT LEAST MONTHLY, OFTEN MORE FREQUENTLY. PROGRAMS REMAINED OPEN YEAR ROUND TO ANY STUDENT AGES 13 TO 18, WHETHER OR NOT THEY WERE ENROLLED IN A LEADERSHIP COUNCIL. YOUTH ALSO LAUNCHED INDEPENDENT SERVICE PROJECTS AND DONATION DRIVES, EXPANDING IMPACT BEYOND STRUCTURED EVENTS. THE RESULT IS CONSISTENT ENGAGEMENT, NOT ONE TIME VOLUNTEERING.

STUDENTS LEARN HOW LOCAL SYSTEMS WORK, HOW TO IDENTIFY COMMUNITY NEEDS, AND HOW TO TAKE ACTION. THROUGH YOUTH IN SERVICE AWARDS, STUDENTS ACROSS THE STATE SUBMIT SERVICE PROJECTS FOR RECOGNITION. NOMINATIONS OPEN IN THE FALL. FINALISTS ARE HONORED AT A SPRING AWARDS CEREMONY. YOUTHSERVE ALSO PARTNERS WITH EDUCATION AND YOUTH DEVELOPMENT ORGANIZATIONS TO HOST WORKSHOPS AND SEMINARS FOCUSED ON LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT, CIVIC RESPONSIBILITY, AND PRACTICAL SKILL BUILDING.
