Youth for Environmental Stewardship! (YES!)

As a non-profit community-based organization, CDC of PHP relies on the generosity of members like you. Your donations are used to cover a range of operating expenses in support of our initiatives.

The YES! (formally YCC) program provides an 8-week hands-on service-learning experience for high school students ages 16-18, highlighting stewardship and leadership.
