Do you know of a youth who is passionate about community service and has the desire to grow their leadership skills? Consider nominating them for the Kenosha County Youth As Resources (YAR) program. We are now accepting nominations for the 2022-2023 program year.

Youth As Resources is an opportunity where students can contribute their voice to community issues and develop their confidence, independence, and leadership skills, while serving on a grant-giving Board which funds service projects designed and carried out by youth in Kenosha County.

The requirements to participate in Youth As Resources are:
• 8th-11th grade at the time of application;
• Must demonstrate strong leadership potential and care for their community;
• Must be able to attend the monthly meetings of YAR (Third Tuesday September-May).
