AYS Provides Summer Programs for LDS Teens

Click to Compare AYS & EFY

Much like  EFY, AYS offers an amazing summer experience for LDS teens focused on their spiritual growth and development. 

However, AYS programs go far beyond EFY by operating as humanitarian service expeditions to poverty stricken areas of the world. Think of AYS as an advanced EFY program with international travel and service opportunities. 

With 14 sessions scheduled for summer 2010, AYS has a full summer ahead including service trips to Belize, Brazil, Fiji, Tonga, and Peru. Spaces are filling quickly, so act now! For more information and to sign up see 2010 Expeditions.

For Homeless Children in Brazil

Brazil is the world's fifth largest country and occupies nearly half of South America. Known for its breathtaking views, tropical beaches, and historic colonial towns, Brazil is also home to a high percentage of people living poverty. Come join AYS in constructing a home for children who have been either abandoned or orphaned in Brazil, and enjoy getting to know the culture of the village of Niteroi. 

Is an AYS Trip for You?

Yes, if You Would Enjoy ...
  • Going on a unique LDS-oriented service expedition to an exotic third-world country.
  • Building lifelong friendships with a group of about 17 LDS teens like you from throughout the United States and Canada.
  • Spending almost three weeks serving those in real need and making a lasting difference in their lives.
  • Immersing yourself in a new culture like no tourist can do by working with the locals.
  • Associating with and befriending local teens with very different lifestyles from your own, but with the same religious beliefs.

Who is AYS?

Alliance for Youth Service (AYS) is a nonprofit humanitarian organization catering to youth ages 16-19. It was established in 1999 by a group of socially-conscious parents, leaders and volunteers to provide LDS teens with humanitarian service opportunities.  Today, AYS has grown into a vibrant volunteer organization led by a nation-wide advisory council that organizes humanitarian programs for hundreds of volunteers in countries around the globe.  It is the largest organization of its kind and has received world-wide recognition for blessing the lives of the less fortunate.  See the Advisory Council page for a list of references.
