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
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.

They will also have the opportunity to gain experience capturing art through a camera lens.
