Volunteer Hours

Volunteer hours can be composed of, but not limited to, volunteer mentoring and/or co-mentoring, building cleaning, serving in leadership positions or on an activity committee, or filling other needs within the community as approved by the leadership team.

Each semester there will be a volunteer spreadsheet with various jobs listed. Members are required to sign up for a job listing before they will be allowed to register for classes. If a member would like to volunteer for a job not listed on the spreadsheet, the member will need to get permission from the Board.

YLA Communities cannot function without the service of its members and members are expected to serve within the community as much as possible. 

 

Fees

Membership fees go directly to paying for operational costs including: some building rent, insurance, website fees, and community supplies. As such, membership fees are non-refundable. Membership fees must be paid before scholars can register for classes.

The yearly membership fee for 2026-2027 year is $100 per family.

Class fees will be determined by the mentor of each class, based upon the needs of that class or project. Total class fees will vary based upon what classes each student selects. All class fees must be paid by the set due date, before classes begin unless other arrangements have been made.

If a youth decides to drop a class after registration closes, there is a $10 drop fee per class dropped or changed. When a student drops a class it affects the total student count and could potentially cause the class to drop entirely from the schedule. Families are highly encouraged to verify their classes and commitments BEFORE registration closes.
