Advocacy keeps stories alive.

True service is an investment in a community that moves beyond volunteerism. Your Service Focus is an opportunity to create a service project or participate in an ongoing effort that you execute with or on behalf of an organization, group, or other beneficiary that will allow you to advocate for and serve their needs with greater depth and meaning.

Service often helps preserve the narratives and histories of people and places that may otherwise be forgotten, neglected, or erased. You will see reflections of this throughout your Y-Corps experience both before, during, and after your journey!

By reflecting on and recording answers to the following prompts, you will preserve a Y-Corps Story of Service - a story that, without your writing, would never be told.

And that, teams, is advocacy at its finest.
