The Youth Employment Skills (YES) Program
YES is an on-base volunteer program for high school students and is offered at Fairchild AFB. This program, underwritten by the Air Force Aid Society (AFAS), is a joint effort between AFAS and Air Force Airmen & Family Services Flight to offer high school students an opportunity to learn valuable work skills, "bank" dollar credits toward their post-secondary education/training, and have a positive impact on their base community.
YES allows high school students to "bank" $4 in grant funding for every hour volunteered in an on base function. Students may accumulate as much as 250 hours over all 4 years of high school combined, for a potential maximum of $1,000 toward their future vocational-technical or academic endeavors. In addition, the base will be credited with $2 for every volunteer hour, to be used in support of base youth program enhancements (up to $10,000 per year).
Interested students should contact the Youth Programs Director or the Teen Center Director for eligibility requirements and enrollment procedures.
