Strategic Goal: Quality of Life. Objective: Provide quality programs to support local residents.
Body
• The Youth Service League is designed for middle-school aged young people who volunteer to work for the City of Rock Hill, Rock Hill School District and various community agencies.
• The Youth Service League provides young people with training, positive direction and wonderful experiences during a critical time in their development.
The goal of the Youth Service League is twofold:
o to teach Rock Hill’s youth about the benefits of volunteerism and leadership through actual experience
o to utilize the talents of our youth for the betterment of the community
• Each student is required to donate at least 35 hours to complete the program, and many volunteers donated more than the required 35 hours.
o In 2011, the Youth Service League students donated approximately 2,100 hours to the community over an 8-week period.
