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

Spend about two weeks serving others and making a difference in their lives.
 
See amazing places and learn a new culture. Make friends with local LDS members.
 
AYS trips are LDS oriented, support and strengthen your standards, and bring a Gospel perspective to the service.
   
Applying for college? An AYS expedition sets you apart from the rest!
 
For Young Men

 For Parents
Help them put life in perspective.
 
Send your son or daughter on an LDS youth humanitarian expedition.
 
AYS trips changes 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 an adult coach. You can have a special experience with your child and make a difference in the lives of other LDS youth. Space is reserved for the children of adult coaches.
Imagine doing this when you were 17!
