Are you a Cleveland nonprofit looking for youth volunteers? Let's work together.
Become a PartnerWhy It Matters
Teen volunteering has decreased by 22% over the last decade. As many schools continue to include it as a graduation requirement, service has become a checklist item instead of an opportunity for impact.
Meanwhile, Cleveland nonprofits struggle to access youth volunteers due to school bureaucracy and limited visibility. We bypass the red tape, allowing us to partner directly with nonprofits, move quickly, and make real change.
It’s a win-win: students gain purpose-driven experiences, and organizations gain the next generation of community leaders.
Hear it from the students
That event was honestly so much fun. I’ve done a bunch of volunteer things before, but this one just felt different. Everyone was there for the right reasons, the energy was great, and it was so easy to just jump in and help.
— Anonymous student after our R.A.K.E. event
I’m usually not super into volunteering because it can be awkward or hard to find stuff that fits my schedule, but YouthServe made it easy. Everything was organized, the people were chill, and it just felt like a good time.
