In the Aptos Community Youth Program, we offer many opportunities for students to connect their gifts and passions with the needs of our community. Throughout the year we offer service projects and volunteer days with various organizations in the community that work on hunger, education, environmental issues, and community events. We also offer monthly community organizing taco nights where community leaders come in and dialogue with youth on issues and as our youth work to create policy level change in our community particularly around transportation and wellness. Additionally, we invite youth to join our Aptos Community Youth Program Youth and Adult Advisory Committee to provide vision and direction for the program.
