Mission: Our mission is to provide every student with a meaningful service opportunity following our Guiding Principles of Safety, Respect, Meaning, Revelation, Selflessness, and Reflection.

Please answer the following questions:
As an Executive Director, I agree to attend the events and fulfill the responsibilities listed above.
I give my permission to include my phone number on the program's webpage.
On each of Y-Serve's program webpages there is contact information - the program's email address as well as the list of the leaders' names and some of their phone numbers. The public has access to the information, but the phone numbers are generally used by volunteers who text the leaders to get more information about how to get involved. Having your phone number on the webpage is not a requirement to be a program leader.
I authorize the verification of my academic and Honor Code status for the purpose of completing Y-Serve's volunteer application.
