The Youth Engaged in Service (YES) Program is a volunteer program for Seattle based youth between the ages of 13 and 18. Participants will volunteer for six weeks July 11 - August 19 for a total of 120 hours in a Seattle Parks and Recreation program or facility or community based organization. Sixty hours of the required 120 may be used towards the Seattle public high school service learning graduation requirement with proper pre-approval from the school. As recognition for their efforts, YES volunteers can receive a $150 stipend for the remaining 60 hours at the conclusion of the program. YES volunteers must complete all 120 hours to be eligible for the stipend.
The YES Program is a great way to gain job skills and work experience, become more involved in your community, stay active throughout the summer, learn more about the Seattle Parks and Recreation, and make new friends!
