Kitsap Youth in Action offers volunteer opportunities to youth (ages 11-17) in a variety of service projects throughout the community. Teams of youth volunteers are supervised and lead by adult AmeriCorps members.
Typical projects include:
•
Environmental: working with the parks departments to plant trees and beautify parks and public areas.
•
Education: providing tutoring to young children at various schools and community centers.
•
Events: helping community organizers with events like the Festival of Trees, Whaling Days and Dr. Martin Luther King Day celebrations.
Eligibility Any youth between the ages of 11 to 17 is welcome in the Kitsap Youth in Action program. If a youth volunteer turns 18 but is still in high school, they may stay in the program until graduation. Any youth volunteer who wishes to remain with the program after turning 18 may do so as adult volunteers.
Youth volunteerism encompasses all skill levels and abilities. A willingness to help others and follow directions are all that is required.
