K-12 Learn and Serve

If there is not an opportunity to participate in service-learning at your school, there are still many opportunities to get involved in the community.

  • Youth Service America (YSA.org) offers many opportunities to get involved. Visit their website to find out about these opportunities. A few things to keep an eye out for are:
    • Aaron Eilert’s Day—this is a Day of Service recognized all across Iowa. There are many opportunities to get involved on this day.
    • Global Youth Service Day—this is a nationally celebrated day in which many activities are offered to get involved.
