:: AYS - Alliance for Youth Service, changing lives through service.

All the Trips Are Full for Summer 2009!

Alliance for Youth Service (AYS) is an LDS oriented, non-profit humanitarian organization for teens ages 16-19. We give youth the opportunity to serve people, build testimonies, and travel the world, all at the same time. Through service we can change lives for the better, including our own.

Service trips for summer 2009 are full. Trips for 2010 will be posted in June 2009. Check back with us then or add your email address to our list and we will send you the first notification click here.

For Youth

Is this for you?

	Go on a unique LDS oriented service trip to an amazing place. This year you'll travel to Fiji, Peru, Bolivia, or Tonga.

	Make lifetime friends with about 17 awesome teens and 4 cool adults.

	Spend over two weeks serving others and making a difference in their lives.

	Immerse yourself in a new culture like no tourist ever can. You'll see what daily life is really like.

	Make friends with local teens with different lives but the same beliefs.

	Applying for college? An AYS expedition sets you apart from the rest!

For Young Men

	Make AYS your Eagle Scout Project!

For Parents

Why do it?

	It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to send your son or daughter on an LDS teen humanitarian expedition.

	AYS humanitarian trips change the lives of those served and those who serve. Service builds character and testimony.

	Give a Christmas or graduation gift that lasts longer than a lifetime.

	Their standards will be strengthened, not challenged while they’re away from home.

	Come along as a volunteer adult coach. You can have a special experience with your child and make a difference in the lives of other Mormon teens. Space is reserved for the children of volunteer adult coaches.

	Imagine doing this when you were 17!
