Volunteering

To be a volunteer in such and harness such a great opportunity, there is a short online application one must fill out. The selection process for high school students is rigorous due to the increasing need for community service to graduate. High school students who wish to apply must fill out an application which is available online, and then, from there, wait to be contacted for acceptance. For those who are beyond high school, they must fill out an online application as well and then and also wait to be contact. The difference between the high school volunteer and post-high school volunteer's acceptance process is that the post-high school volunteer is selected on a first come first serve basis, while the high school volunteer is accepted on a more selective basis.

All applications submitted beyond the deadline will be rolled over to the volunteer list for the following year.

Sponsorship

Sponsorship comes in two different forms. The first most immediate form is donation, where a person, organization, or business donates an amount of money to the Youth Day project. In this there is a short online form to fill out that will allow us to make one's donation tax deductible as well as anonymous if one chooses in addition to receiving a receipt for one's donation. If one does not have the financial means to donate their desired amount, it is recommended to give what ever one can. And if one feels that that is not enough, then there is always the second option for sponsoring; fundraising. In fundraising there is also an online form to fill out of that allows the Youth Day Committee to certify fundraisers as Youth Day approved and supported. Once the form is filled out, the fundraiser will be contacted for approval. Both forms of sponsorship result in making an incredible difference in you community a dollar at a time, or even more so if one pleases.

Please contact the Youth Day Project for all donations.
