Empowering Youth to Build a Better Future
Youth Civil Service
About Us
Youth Civil Service (YCS) is a youth-led initiative committed to building a better world — one empowered young person at a time. We believe that when youth are given the right tools, guidance, and opportunities, they can lead meaningful change in their communities and beyond.
Through hands-on service, leadership training, and a deep commitment to social and environmental responsibility, YCS inspires the next generation to rise as leaders, changemakers, and stewards of a better tomorrow.
Founders: Hudson Yang; Ethan Song; Shannon Hong; Amy Wu
Our Vision
We envision a world where every young person is empowered to lead with compassion, act with purpose, and serve with heart. YCS cultivates youth who care deeply about their communities, the planet, and the future — and who aren’t afraid to take action.
