YMCA Earth Service Corps
Description
YMCA Earth Service Corps is a service-learning program for teens ready to make a difference in their communities. Grounded on the building blocks of leadership development, environmental education and action, and cross-cultural awareness, this proven program works in diverse communities and allows teens to use their talents, develop new skills and learn more about themselves and their surroundings. Most importantly, young people in Earth Service Corps are recognized as valuable resources who work hand-in-hand with others to solve important issues.
Our experiences shows that when meaningful opportunities are created, teens step forward and excel. For the past three years, an external evaluation by Search Institute has found high impact on YMCA Earth Service Corps' ability to strengthen leadership skills, increase the commitment of future volunteerism, and provide the tools necessary for healthy, competent and caring lives.
Today, YMCA Earth Service Corps is operating in 111 YMCAs in 30 states and continues to be a fast growing national program for the YMCA. In its ten year history, the program has involved close to 20,000 young people in well over a 1,000,000 hours of service.
