Youth Service America (YSA) is building a global culture of engaged youth who are committed to a lifetime of service, learning, leadership, and achievement. Their mission is to expand the impact of the youth service movement with communities, schools, corporations, and governments.

Youth Venture and YSA have been partners for several years, to date supporting hundreds of teams nationally in creating and launching sustainable ventures. In addition to meeting all of the regular criteria for membership with Youth Venture, all YSA-Youth Ventures also include plans for how they’ll engage media and public officials with their ventures, and also commit to participating in national & Global Youth Service Day.
