YIPA recommends starting with opportunities such as volunteering at schools, parks and recreation programs, after-school programs, summer programs, or other youth-serving organizations in your community. YIPA emphasizes building a trusting relationship with young people and growing alongside them as you both develop your unique skills, talents, confidence, and goals.
