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!
