About Youth Service Corps: Youth Service Corps is a group of high school students serving as 300 hour AmeriCorps members. The student members support their Family Resource and Youth Service Centers, mentor younger students, and provide service to their communities while earning an education award they can use towards their college education. A student must be 17 years old or turn 17 before September 2, 2025 to apply to be a Youth Service Member. Youth Service members do not receive a living stipend, only an education award.Â
