Looking to spice up your service days? Look no further…
Use your talents to help youth in your community! Keep in mind that your YAC should do a needs assessment— a measurement of what your community needs most— every 3 years for your community. Ex: Does your community struggle with teen pregnancy? Volunteer for or set up abstinence/sex education classes. Consider using your strengths as a YAC. Does your YAC have a lot of artists? Maybe your group could host a "mural painting party" at a nearby park for kids of all ages to attend. The possibilities are endless!
Here are some web sites to help!
