Youthserve Inc

Community service and summer programmingin 2024, youthserve saw an incredible level of engagement, with over 600 young volunteers from 60 schools participating in community service events throughout the year. These dedicated individuals contributed more than 2,000 service hours across 32 events, helping a diverse range of organizations including the salvation army, east lake farmers market senior basket program, and cahaba riverkeeper, among others. The initiative offered regular service opportunities at least once a month, with many events occurring even more frequently. This remarkable involvement underscores the youth's commitment to making a positive impact in their communities. Youthserve's community service events are open year-round to all individuals aged 13-18, allowing them to participate in as many projects as they wish, whether or not they are enrolled in leadership programs. Additionally, youth-led projects and donation drives are available for all youth to engage in, promoting a spirit of collaboration and community service among young people.

In-school service educationyouthserve empowers young people to positively impact their communities through in-school programs that offer engaging workshops on civic engagement for students in grades 7 to 12, conducted by our knowledgeable staff. Additionally, we recognize youth efforts with the youth in service awards, inviting students statewide to showcase their community service projects, starting with a nomination call in the fall and culminating in a spring awards ceremony. We also host outreach events, including workshops and seminars, in partnership with education and youth development organizations, fostering personal growth, skill-building, and meaningful connections for the next generation of leaders.
