The Youth Engaged In Service (YES) Ambassador program has been a core initiative of the Points of Light Foundation for 15 years. It placed community-minded young people between the ages of 18-25 with statewide "Partner" organizations for up to two years to provide technical assistance, training, advocacy and program development around youth service, service-learning and youth leadership.
The Foundation works with each Partner Organization and YES Ambassador to determine the needs of their state, and how they can improve the youth service infrastructure through the work of the YES Ambassador program. For the past 15 years YES ambassadors have served at different Partner Organizations around the country.
Regrettably the YES Ambassador program is coming to an end this year. The 2005 – 2006 program year will be the final year of the program. If you are interested in another program offered by the Foundation that is similar to the YES Ambassador program check out the Strengthening Communities AmeriCorps*VISTA Initiative.
