GROUP VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES:

YST relies upon groups of dedicated people to complete a wide variety of projects vital to the operation of our agency. These groups come from businesses, civic clubs, churches, and other social groups who understand the importance of maintaining a safe and beautiful space for young people in crisis to receive services.

The following group projects are available by appointment during operating hours, Monday-Friday. Evening and weekend projects are not available. Please provide a minimum of two weeks’ advance notice for scheduling.

Organize a Collection Drive: Host a drive to collect essential items for homeless teens and transition-age youth. Items may include socks and underwear, hygiene products, or cleaning supplies and household goods for recently-housed youth.

Street Outreach: Process and organize donated clothing and shoes. Separate items that are not age-appropriate or in poor condition. Size and hang quality clothing for homeless youth to access while dropping in for services. 9:00-11:00 AM only. Perfect for pairs and small groups of no more than six volunteers.
