Enrollment Procedures

2. Click on the Sign Up button. You will then enter your name, email address, and create a password.

3. Wait for administrator approval. Accounts are approved after a YES application has been completed, turned in, and processed.   

4. After your account is approved, you may sign up for the mandatory New Member Orientation.

5. When you choose your events, you will be limited to signing up for 3 events/waitlists. You may add another, after an event has passed. 

6. IF YOU CANNOT ATTEND AN EVENT YOU HAVE SIGNED UP FOR, YOU MUST REMOVE YOURSELF FROM THAT EVENT, MORE THAN 2 HOURS PRIOR. You must log onto the system to remove yourself. This is very important. By removing yourself, you will open up the spot for someone else. If you do not do so, it is considered a NO-SHOW. Three NO-SHOWS in one calendar year will result in dismissal from the program.

Sign Up Limit and Process

11/20/23-Sign Up Limit: 1 events/waitlists

The Amherst Youth Engaged in Service program encourages young people to participate as individuals. All forms, requests, sign ups, and phone calls should be made by the youth member. We believe in fostering independence and responsibility, contributing to their overall development. If a student is unable to manage their own volunteerism, it is recommended that they wait to enroll.

We will always welcome questions by parents and guardians.
