Los Alamos YMCA Earth Service Corps

Los Alamos YMCA Earth Service Corps To develop leaders and to highlight the importance of serving one's community, sustaining the planet, and understanding other cultures.

Learn by DOING: YMCA Earth Service Corps provides a unique opportunity for youth ages 11-17 to identify local environmental issues while working collaboratively to engage participants in community action. YES Corps is a NATIONAL youth movement, started at the YMCA of Greater Seattle in 1989 and now now with branches from California to Massachusetts. LOCALLY, we combine volunteer service, environme

ntal education, and work experience in a program that focuses on trail improvement, landscaping, watershed restoration, fire ecology, organic gardening, group work, mentoring, and creative projects. Our supervised summer program includes CPR and First Aid certification, training and safety seminars, and educational and enrichment workshops. We also sponsor environmental clubs at our local Middle School and High School where youth can participate (and take on leadership roles) in monthly service projects, field trips, and retreats. Joining YES Corps will expose participants to the world of science, social justice, and environmental studies through opportunities for environmental education and action, leadership development, and cross-cultural awareness. YES Corps members initiate and implement projects that develop leaders, inspire individuals, and highlight the importance of sustaining our planet. Join us and challenge your leadership skills, develop compassion for others, foster a respect for the environment, and TAKE ACTION within your community to create a healthy planet!
