General Interest

Please briefly answer the following questions:

What makes you want to volunteer with YES? What interests you about working specifically with youth (ages 14-25)? Please briefly list and explain any specific skills, knowledge or experience you have acquired from employment, previous volunteer work, or other activities like hobbies or sports that will inform your time at YES:

Group Activity

What is the activity you are interested in facilitating? Please describe it here: Due to the nature of drop-in, sometimes ten people will be in your group and sometimes only one. How will you manage the group with different people, and different numbers of people, coming each week? Sometimes it can be difficult to get people to participate in groups during drop-in. How will you encourage people to attend and participate in your group?
