People

Join a community of stakeholders championing New Service, a next-generation youth service initiative.

We are a youth-led social impact organization committed to elevating the social value of youth service and co-creating youth service activities that map to the life skills that young people value.

We are a coalition of youth service advocates and innovators committed to a youth service ecosystem that works for everyone.

- Our Story

This is why we are doing this

We started Service Academy because we believe in the incredible social value of youth service. We don’t feel that value is reflected in the youth service opportunities available today.

Service Academy started as an interesting discussion about what we each had to give back to our communities. We continue this effort because it represents the kind of people we want to be, ones that take action, stand up for what we believe in. It combines our interests in entrepreneurship and social innovation, large-scale problem solving and working with people we admire and love. We have found belonging, confidence, esteem, learning and fulfillment through this process. And we hope others will too.
