New Era of Youth Service in America

Posted by Youth Service America on October 21, 2025

As Youth Service America (YSA) looks forward to America’s Semiquincentennial in 2026, we know that only 1 in 4 young people regularly participate in their communities. That means 64 million young Americans are left out of participating in our democracy.

To ensure that we are adding maximum value to K-12 schools to engage more students in volunteering & service, voting & civic engagement, and joining & leadership, YSA is embarking on A New Era of Youth Service in America listening tour to inform our new National Strategy to double the rates of youth participation in America that will launch in celebration of America 250.
