YouthServe, Inc. View Charity Profile

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. 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.

YouthServe, Inc. Volunteer Information

Volunteers can volunteer with us on Saturday workday. This is an opportunity for youth as well as adults. Youth, ages 13 to 18, can come to a monthly Saturday workday from 9am-2pm. We host a wide variety of service events including a river clean-up, rehabilitating homes, or with organizations such as Aletheia House. Adults are also needed at these workdays. Adults who can transport youth are highly needed. We also need adults to help facilitate the workday. Another opportunity is our workcrews. Workcrews are held on a weekday afternoon and typically last from 3:30-5:30.
