Teen Opportunities

These are the ways your teen can get involved in serving our community with Generation SERVE,
​from one-time opportunities like our Teen Service Days to deeper commitments like our summer-long Youth Leadership Program!

Youth Leadership Program

For teens who are ready for a leadership role within our organization, we offer the summer Youth Leadership Program. This program gives middle school and high school students the opportunity to complete leadership training during the summer months and to become Teen Co-Leads (middle school) and Teen Leads (high school) for our Family Volunteering Program.

​To join this program, teens must complete an application and interview process and be selected by our Youth Leadership Director and Teen Advisory Board. 

Applications for our 2019 summer Youth Leadership Program will be accepted between February 12th and April 12th at 5pm.

Dedicated Family Placement

Generation SERVE offers teens and parents the opportunity to develop deeper connections to our nonprofit partners and the clients they serve with Dedicated Family Placements! These opportunities vary, but they always involve a training and a commitment to multiple days of service. Dedicated Family Placements build teens' skills while they log significant service hours AND provide our partners with trained and committed volunteers!

Jeremiah Program

Jeremiah Project
Generation SERVE teens and parents volunteer in a direct service capacity with children and parents at the Jeremiah Program, an organization committed to transforming families from poverty to prosperity two generations at a time. While moms in the program participate in classes and leadership opportunities, Generation SERVE families provide childcare.

Our spring program is now full. Additional applications will be added to our wait list.

McKinney Falls

Jeremiah Project
Generation SERVE teens and parents will provide visitor education on water safety and drowning prevention at McKinney Falls State Park. This program is a partnership with Colin's Hope, an organization that provides water safety and drowning prevention education, and Texas Parks & Wildlife, which preserves and manages the state's parks.

Registration for our Spring Break session is now open!
​

REGISTER

​​Volunteers must be 13 years or older. This program is intended for parents and teens to participate together.

Teen Service Days

Each month we offer Teen Service Days - opportunities for teens to volunteer alongside their peers without a parent or guardian. These events give teens experience with volunteer projects in support of many different nonprofit organizations and community needs.

Teen Family Volunteering

Volunteering alongside a parent or guardian is still incredibly valuable for teens. On our monthly Activity Calendar, we offer many volunteer activities for youth ages 12+ and their families to volunteer at activities that are longer and more extensive than the activities offered to other age groups. We understand that youth ages 12 and older are capable of staying focused for longer periods of time and completing more complicated work, so we seek out opportunities for these youth and their families to serve our partner nonprofits in very meaningful ways.
