For Youth
Students in grades 9–12 can earn community service hours, help plan events, and even serve on the PYS Board of Directors. Activities include Awareness Week, the Holiday Giving Tree, and our signature Duck Drop fundraiser.
This is a fun and rewarding way to meet community service requirements and help make a meaningful difference.
