Y.E.S. Program
WHAT IS THE Y.E.S. PROGRAM?
Y.E.S. (Youth Expanding Service) is a program that encourages students to make a difference in our community through service.
WHO CAN PARTICIPATE?
All students in grades 9-12 can participate in the Y.E.S. Program.
How do I join?
Fill out a Y.E.S. contract accepting the terms of the program. Turn it in at the counselor's office room 402, OR the YES table in the back of the commons during lunches on Mondays and Thursdays when school is in session.
WHat is required?
VOLUNTEERING! To earn the YES recognition at graduation, you must complete 100 hours of service by April of your senior year. Only 25 of those hours may be completed in the summer. Once you have accumulated 100 hours of community service you will be recognized at graduation with a Y.E.S. medal and certificate.
