Youth as Solutions (YaS) is creating a generation of citizens who are passionate about making a positive impact in their schools and communities. Through our self-paced service-learning program, Leadership Teams – consisting of at least two young people in grades 6-12 and an adult mentor from a public school, school district, government entity, or nonprofit – positively impact their communities by addressing one of these impact areas:
Education Equity
Community Health
Environmental Justice
Civics and Democracy
I’m an Educator
I want to empower my students to change their schools, community, and the world.
