The Community Service Hours (CSH) Program is designed to provide youth with clear opportunities to take action for climate by supporting Youth4Climate while earning community service hours in the process. This program is geared towards students who are interested in developing skills and taking on concrete tasks instead of (or in addition to!) joining a Y4C Team.
As a reminder, all Y4C events count as community service hours–email Megan (megan@youth4climate350.org) to learn how to receive community service hours for your work with Y4C.
How To Join
Our meetings occur on the second Sunday of every month from 2-3pm. These meetings are perfect for new participants and people who have never taken action for climate before, so check it out and bring your friends!
Find details for CSH Program calls and all other Y4C events on our Calendar.

What You’ll Gain
Beyond gaining community service hours for school and college applications, you will also feel that you are contributing to meaningful action to support your future, become connected to a community of passionate young people, and get to practice skills you’d like to improve under the mentorship of supportive college mentors.
