A Place For Youth is committed to helping youth develop leadership & be outstanding members of their community.
At A Place For Youth, it starts with leading by example. Our hope is to inspire our students to contribute to others and foster a better understanding of self, purpose, and fulfillment. Our students are required to complete 100 hours of community service, at least one quarterly volunteer event.
Community service holds a unique value, whether small or significant, every act, when united for a common goal, can profoundly impact our community, personal development, our environment, and beyond.
Students who complete over 240 hours of community service during their high school career are eligible to receive “APFY’s Outstanding Citizen Award”. This award celebrates honorees committed to participating in the change they wish to see in their community, taking the initiative, and being outstanding community members.
