Why Volunteer with YouthServe??

YouthServe is the largest youth service organization in Birmingham bringing youth, ages 13-18 from all walks of life and from all over Birmingham together to participate in community service and social change. YouthServe hosts monthly Saturday workdays, after school projects, four camps in the summer, teaches a service learning curriculum in area schools and facilitates a year long youth philanthropy project. Whew, that's a lot. And we have fun doing it. Plus, we have great t-shirts that we give out.

At YouthServe, we believe EVERYONE can make a difference if given the proper tools. And we don't believe in focusing on just one community service area. We do all kinds of projects: everything from creating community gardens to tutoring children to clearing vacant lots to building affordable housing to speaking out in support of public transportation to building community across neighborhoods to delivering fresh fruit and vegetables to the homebound. You name it, we have probably done it. And if we haven't, let's us know and we'll put a project together!
