Overview: Youth Service America believes that youth, communities, and our democracy thrive when we all work together for the common good.

Participation rates are even lower among youth from low-income and minority communities.

Funded by AmeriCorps (Corporation for National and Community Service), YSA’s Youth Service Zone grants offer organizations and schools an opportunity to work collaboratively to increase the youth volunteer rates in their community. Each zone will receive a grant of $15,000 ($5,000 to each of the three collaborative leaders) to support program activities that build partnerships and capacity in order to increase youth volunteer participation.
