YouthServe NYC

What is youthserve nyc?

YouthServe NYC was a service initiative founded and run by young people who wanted to become more involved in the work of rebuilding New York City in the wake of the Covid-19 crisis. For three years (2020-2023), YouthServe NYC engaged high school students in service and in social justice.
