Volunteer with Project YANO
There are many ways you can actively assist with our work.
If you live in our home region of San Diego County:
You can help with activities like the following -
- Speak in classrooms and to youth groups (training provided).
- Staff displays at school career fairs (training provided).
- Assist with translation of literature.
- Staff informational booths at community events.
- Help with bulk mailings (mostly done in San Diego and North County).
- Attend monthly meetings to help plan activities.
- Organize fundraisers and community events.
- Join the Peace on Earth Carolers, who raise money by singing holiday carols in December.
- Monitor school board agendas and/or attend board meetings.
- Help recruit other volunteers.
Note to young people:
We greatly value your advice and input. In the past, we have had students serve on our board of trustees, and we are currently accepting new student members. If you need community service hours for school, your volunteer time with us can count toward that requirement. Additionally, we occasionally offer internship opportunities for college students.
Note to military veterans:
Your experience gives you a unique opportunity to help young people make educated decisions about joining the military. They need to hear from you the things that they won't hear from a recruiter or in armed forces ads.
