On Friday, Oct. 15, youth teams will be going out into the Yakima Community to have a great time participating in a variety of service learning projects. 

The youth teams will be participating in service learning projects, an approach that teaches and integrates service to the community with a hands-on approach. Students address community needs while learning civic responsibility and developing meaningful leadership and workplace skills. Service learning can encourage youth to become active participants in their own communities. Plus, it’s a great way for teams to interact and build networks with other Washington youth.

Youth and Team Adult Advisors are advised to wear comfortable clothing and outdoor, closed-toe shoes for all project sites. Wear clothing that you don’t mind getting dirty, as you could be working outside and/or with materials that will stain your clothes!

Youth teams will sign up for service projects on-site as part of registration. Please come prepared with your first and second choice as projects will fill up quickly.  The sign-up will take place on a first come, first serve basis.  Thank you.
