Youth in Service AmeriCorps at Community Youth Services

The mission of the Community Youth Services (CYS) Youth in Service Program is to develop service leaders who address critical needs in the areas of education and human needs in the Olympia area located in western Washington State. Our team of AmeriCorps members perform meaningful service with youth and families in need, such as creating increased opportunities for high needs students to improve their academic and social skills and providing direct service to children and families that promote safe, healthy and sustainable living. Members serve in full-time positions as tutors, mentors, program assistants and volunteer coordinator at local schools and youth-serving social service agencies. While members serve at different placement sites, teamwork is highly valued and members meet often for training, planning service projects and support. The Youth in Service program only accepts professional references; defined as teachers, coaches, clergy, and job or volunteer supervisors.
