YouthSERVE
Do you want to make a difference in our community? YouthSERVE is dedicated to connecting youth, ages 11-17, with rewarding volunteer projects across Santa Cruz County. We connect local youth who have a passion to help those in need with meaningful opportunities to do so.
PLEASE NOTE: Most in-person activities have been postponed until further notice but you can still make a difference from home! Check out our remote and virtual volunteer opportunities with YouthSERVE. Join us by making a handmade card for an isolated senior, upcycle an old t-shirt into a dog toy, or create a 'star' ornament for the Adopt-a-Family project. Make a difference for those most affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Get details and sign up online
