Student Y is a student-led program for middle and high school students (grades 6-12) interested in making an impact in local and global communities. Student Y is a way for your school or community organization to engage in meaningful service learning projects throughout the school year, and develop into compassionate community leaders. Student Y promotes youth development, social responsibility, and healthy living through:
Civic Engagement
Servant Leadership
Character Development
Students can sign up to become members anytime throughout the year, but we do encourage you to get signed up as soon as possible to begin working with your Chapter! Student Y members spend a year achieving a greater understanding of public service and policy, building relationships through service with peers, educators, mentors, and service partners, and developing a culture of belonging in their chapters, schools, communities, Commonwealth, nation, and world.
