Our WorkEverything YouthServe does has the goal of empowering youth to be leaders and changemakers in their community.
We believe the best way to do that is to get diverse groups of youth together and provide the tools necessary for them to have impactful discussions and take action on the issues that matter most to them. Explore our different programs below to see the many ways we empower youth to lead and serve alongside one another! |

Youth Leadership Councils
Youth Leadership Councils consist of diverse groups of youth who meet throughout the school year to participate in in-depth, unique experiences related to service and philanthropy. There are two distinct but related youth leadership councils: Youth Action Council & Youth Philanthropy Council. |
Community Service Days
We host frequent community service days (a.k.a. volunteer opportunities) open to youth across the Birmingham area. Typically held on Saturdays, service days are an opportunity for youth to learn about the important work of local nonprofits while engaging in impactful service with their peers. |
Service Education
This program, in partnership with local schools, gives youth an introduction to community & service leadership through a discussion-based curriculum. Our goal is that students will gain a personal definition of community, knowledge of community resources, and opportunities to practice leadership skills through community service. |

Changemaker Councils
Changemaker Councils are groups of service-minded and community-focused youth that are introduced to civic engagement through YouthServe’s project-based service-learning model. We partner with local schools to facilitate this program and provide the resources needed for project completion. |
