What is a Participant?

To be considered a participant for this upcoming summer’s project you must:

What Will I Do at YES?

Community Service

You will be placed on one of 12-13 crews and will be assigned to a project site somewhere in the Toledo area. You will work with your crew Thursday through Saturday to complete your site. Work varies by site and year and may include:

  • Painting the exterior of a homeowner's home

  • Assisting local nonprofits with tasks and needs they have

Spiritual Retreat

YES offers students the opportunity to deepen their relationship with Christ in a variety of ways when the workday is done. Some include:

  • Intentional spirituality activities
