Youth as Solutions SM

Welcome to Youth as Solutions℠

We believe youth are uniquely equipped to solve some of the world's most pressing problems, starting in their own communities.

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

Community Health

Environment

Civics and Democracy

We are now accepting applications for the 2025-26 school year!
