Serve Alaska Youth Corps (SAYC) is the youth division of the Alaska Service Corps, and is specifically designed to provide leadership and work readiness skills to young Alaskans who have barriers to their education or employment. These skills and educational activities are gained through service given to the people of Alaska.
SAYC members travel to various project sites throughout Alaska while living, learning and working in a team community. SAYC crews include one Team Leaders, one Field Educator, and up to 6 Crew Members (ages 17-24). Following a week-long orientation, members receive their crew and project assignments, then deploy. During the service term SAYC crews serve on projects during the day, engage in education/skill building activities nightly, and recreate as a team on weekends.
