Want to make a difference in your life, and in the lives of others?


“Experience This!” is Serve!’s full-time experiential learning program for youth 17 - 24 years old.

Participants engage in an intensive six-month program that focuses on personal development, teamwork and community involvement. Working in a diverse team, participants gain valuable skills and experience that will enable them to achieve success in the future.

Over the course of six months, participants:

  • work toward achieving their personal goals
  • participate in a team of diverse individuals
  • experience leadership roles in their community

Youth participants engage in structured and guided learning activities through community involvement. They also usually experience an adventure-based challenge and trip outside of the city.

Participants receive a living stipend during the program and receive support for working on future goals.

Interested in the next program? You must be:

  • Willing and able to work in a team and with diverse populations
  • Committed to personal development and improving yourself
  • Eager to perform community service/development work to meet community needs
  • Available on a full time basis (40 hours per week mainly weekdays) for a six month program from November 2010 to late April 2011.

You will gain:

  • Leadership, job and life skills
  • Greater self-confidence, assertiveness, and personal awareness
  • Experience in organizing and delivering community projects
  • Skills for planning and reaching your goals
  • An experience of a lifetime!

Quotes From Participants

The reason that I joined this program was to improve my communication skills (and English). As I continued the program, I got to really like working with seniors and kids and realized that I love to volunteer!
