Offering an Opportunity for Young People to Give Back to UH Cleveland and the Community

While volunteering is a fun and very rewarding experience, it is also a very serious commitment. Volunteering requires that you be willing to learn, work hard, act responsibly and be open to new experiences. The Summer Youth Volunteer Leadership Program is a ten-week program for students age 15 through graduation. Participants volunteer four hours per week. Students are permitted to miss only one week. At the conclusion of the program, participants receive a certificate documenting completion.
