Generation SERVE teens are community leaders!
After years of developing a love of volunteering through Generation SERVE's family volunteering and programming opportunities teens asked for the opportunity to become more involved in Generation SERVE. Generation SERVE listened and worked with our teens to create the Teen Advisory Board (TAB), and Teen Service Days, that have resulted in new programming and exciting opportunities for young adult leaders. |

Teen Opportunities
Teen Service Days
Designed and led by members of the Teen Advisory Board, Teen Service Days are just for Teens, ages 13-18! Teens interested in volunteering with like-minded teens can register on our calendar (be sure to filter the search for your location). Every month there are new opportunities at nonprofits that support all types of community needs from animals, to seniors, children and families, to the environment, and more.
The best part is that Generation SERVE activities are free, we track your service hours for you, and when you earn the required hours we automatically apply for the President's Volunteer Service Award for you.
