Youth Volunteer Opportunities

  • The Youth Community Project Team (YCPT) is a youth-led leadership and advocacy program for dedicated high school students in grades 9–12 who are committed to advancing the mission of KAFSC.

    Through education on domestic, sexual, and gender-based violence, participants build leadership, teamwork, and public speaking skills while designing and leading community awareness projects.

    Students also organize KAFSC's annual Rally Against Sexual Assault (RASA) and earn a KAFSC Certificate of Leadership & Advocacy upon successful completion of the program.
