Y-Corps Overview
Y-Corps is a service-learning program for 7th - 12th grade students who want to make a difference in their communities and around the Commonwealth and country. The program incorporates the 4 types of service we emphasize at the Y:
- Perform direct and indirect service in their local communities (goal determined by team)
- Practice philanthropy by fundraising for our Scholarship Fund (goals set by years of experience in Y-Corps)
- Engage in advocacy on behalf of their Y-Corps teams and the YMCA Movement
The 6-month program culminates with a multi-day service trip. This program is offered to students 7th through12th grade. Trips are assigned and announced once registration closes.
Please consider donating to our 2023-2024 Y-Corps campaign. All donations go to our need-based scholarship fund to help teens across the commonwealth attend our civic engagement and character development programs.
Y-Corps Registration is accepted on a first come, first serve basis until our registration closing date of March 26. Please note: This program has limited capacity and it will max out. To be sure you can participate, register today!

Registration for Y-Corps 2024 is closed.
Participants in the program form a cohort of passionate young people from across the state who have been exposed to the wide range of cultures, strengths, and needs that make up our Commonwealth and country.
Through a combination of hard work, cultural experiences, travel, self-discovery, and reflection, Y-Corps extends the Y’s mission into communities throughout our Commonwealth and beyond.
Please bring a signed COVID Student Waiver with you on the trip!
