The YESC Program

People pose on a trail

YESC is leadership through environmental service. YESC envisions a world where all youth recognize their power and are integral and active environmental leaders in their communities. Program Instructors play a crucial role in delivering high quality positive youth development programming to teens in the Greater Seattle Area.

We are a multi-faceted program that combines school-based environmental clubs, service-learning projects, outdoor opportunities, and regional environmental education events into a comprehensive model that minimizes barriers to participation and allows for engagement of diverse populations across socioeconomic, race, ethnic, gender & sexual identity, and geographic spectra.
