If you know of any high school age youth who might be interested in participating in this unique program, please have them complete the application can be found on our website at www.foundationformetrowest.org/about/yip/yac.
This year students participating in YAC will:
- Help people in the MetroWest in need
- Have fun with peers from other communities
- Volunteer in the community
- Eat some pizza
- Learn more about the communities they live in
- Wonder why they didn’t do this before
