Job Coaching Do you have job skills (resume-writing, interviewing, professional standards, financial management) that would be useful for our teenage interns? Share them during intern training sessions (usually on Fridays)!

Skill Sharing Do you have fun skills (juggling, singing, writing poetry, fixing bikes, etc.) to share with younger youth? Come and host a workshop for our youth!

Community Cleanups Work alongside youth to help them do a Community Cleanup in their neighborhoods, parks and along local rivers.

Host a Community Service Action Project (C-SAP)! Solar Youth is all about community service! Help us by hosting a C-SAP! Identify an issue that’s important to your community and plan a service project, and we’ll supply helping hands! Our Stewards love meeting and working with others!

Teach Project Audience Every season, youth do a “Teach Project” to educate others about their C-SAP and the issue it addresses. Become an on-call audience for the youth – listening, asking questions, encouraging them, and showing them that their community cares about the work they do.

Fundraising events Host a fundraising event for Solar Youth!

$50 = Supplies for a youth-led Community Service Action Project $150 = Healthy snack for a Steward Team for the season $350 = Transportation to an Adventure Trip $1200 = Stipend for a youth intern for one season.

Your efforts will directly impact our youth!

Sponsor a Public Education Forum (PEF) At the end of every season, our youth from across the city come together to creatively present what they’ve learned and accomplished. Sponsor a PEF by supporting the cost for, or providing nutritious snacks for 100, and transportation to the venue. There you will enjoy youth’s songs, skits, videos and more!

Sponsor an End-of Season Celebration At the end of every season, youth also get together for a day of fun, games and food to celebrate the season that has just passed. Consider sponsoring an End-of Season Celebration Sponsor by paying for space, food and activities. Show them that their community cares about their good work.

Sponsor an Out-of-Neighborhood Exploration Solar Youth Stewards participate in dozens of out-of-neighborhood explorations each year. These trips allow our Stewards to broaden their horizons by learning about and experiencing the natural and cultural environment outside of their neighborhoods and schools. Sponsor one of these trips to your favorite local museum, park, beach or aquarium! Expenses include transportation, admission (if necessary), and personnel expenses.
