Participants will volunteer for six weeks July 6 - August 14 for a total of 120 hours in a Seattle Parks and Recreation program or facility or community based organization. Sixty hours of the required 120 may be used towards the Seattle public high school service learning graduation requirement with proper pre-approval from the school. As recognition for their efforts, YES volunteers can receive a $150 stipend for the remaining 60 hours at the conclusion of the program. YES volunteers must complete all 120 hours to be eligible for the stipend.
