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 by addressing one of these areas of impact: community health, educational equity, and environmental justice. Leadership teams of young people in grades 6-12, along with an adult mentor, apply to be part of one of the Youth as Solutions areas of impact, where they will participate in a self-paced, hands-on learning experience, identifying and taking action on an issue in their community. Students gain leadership skills, adults receive high-quality service-learning instruction and resources, and youth-adult teams have the opportunity to connect with peers from across the country who are working on similar areas of impact!
