New York Cares' award winning Youth Service Clubs offers meaningful community service opportunities to high school students in New York City. Our goal is to inspire young people to become life long contributors to their communities by educating them about social issues, engaging them in youth-led service projects and providing leadership training.
Youth Service Club participants prepare for, and take part in one community service project per month. Each project is facilitated by New York Cares and allows the students to explore a variety of social issues and to reflect upon their experiences. Typical projects address issues such as community revitalization, education, HIV/AIDS, childcare, people with disabilities, seniors, hunger and homelessness.
