For Students & Parents
At Youth Action, we empower young people by putting them in the driver's seat. We offer three sequential programs, led by trained college and high school student leaders, for middle and high school youth across Philadelphia. These programs enable students to take part in impactful community projects, develop crucial leadership skills, and build a standout resume. Explore each program and learn how to apply.
For School Officials & Partners
We recognize the critical role educators, administrators, and school counselors play in shaping students' futures. Our programs are designed to offer leadership development, service project planning, mentorship, and other growth-oriented resources to students. We seek to partner with committed educational leaders to identify and nominate middle and high school students who would benefit from our offerings. Nominate students today and help shape the leaders of tomorrow.
For Volunteers
Our mission to cultivate socially responsible leaders depends on the dedication of volunteers who lead our programs. Our Volunteer Facilitators receive training to support, coach, and mentor middle and high school students firsthand. They collaborate with student leaders to offer community service opportunities, guide them in organizing their own projects, and enhance their leadership skills through workshops. If you're passionate about making a difference, apply today!
