Overview
Community Support
WorkStyle™ Alignment
WorkStyle™ Alignment
With mentoring and financial scholarships provided by sponsor organizations, students from all walks of life come together to form small cohorts that carry out fundraising projects to benefit local non-profit organizations serving those at risk and in need.
The non-profit may be a homeless shelter, a food pantry, a foster-care home or a substance abuse recovery program, for example.
Sponsor organizations may be associations, religious organizations, civic groups, businesses, schools, PTAs, community groups and social clubs.
The goal of the YCSM™ is to increase the likelihood of success for:
· Youth from all walks of life
· Non-profit Organizations
· The Community
When students give back to their communities in such a powerful and united way, it is our hope that they will choose to return home after college to raise their families and become servant leaders.

WorkStyle™ Alignment
During YCSM™ internships each student applies for, is awarded and carries out a job that is in alignment with his/her natural WorkStyle.
Research shows that a person's WorkStyle never changes throughout our lifetime. Therefore, YCSM™ interns experience the extraordinary power and potential of their natural WorkStyle while working on a team where all members are aligned with the requirements for high job success.
Just imagine working as a team where everyone is utilizing their strengths and supporting each other’s vulnerabilities. This unique opportunity enables students to ...
· Experience teamwork at its best
· Tap into their innate strengths
· Create a direct line-of-sight into the
jobs and careers where they will
thrive
· Make informed and confident
education and career decisions
· Take responsibility for charting and
executing their own personal paths to
happiness and success
Soft Skills Training
WorkStyle™ Alignment
Social Media Mentoring
Throughout the fundraising project interns learn, apply and master the critical soft skills that are reported by employers to be the greatest need in today’s workplace.
· Soft Skills (i.e. critical thinking, problem solving, conflict resolution, emotional awareness, self-control, resourcefulness, and communication)
· Emotional Intelligence (i.e., self-awareness, managing emotions, self-motivation, empathy and social skills)
· Values (i.e., honesty, resilience, forgiveness, integrity, teamwork and pride)
· Work Ethics (i.e., respect, stick-to-it-ness, adaptability, attention to detail, acceptance, punctuality, flexibility, quality of work, and focus on the big picture)
It's one thing to be taught these skills in a classroom environment.
It's a completely different experience to apply them in the work environment and to receive just-in-time coaching, encouragement and inspiration to reach a level of true skill mastery!
Social Media Mentoring

Social Media Mentoring
YCSM™ cohorts and sponsor organization members will join a closed Facebook Group where the interns share regular updates of the project, including what is going great and the challenges they are encountering.
Sponsor members will serve as social media mentors to the interns to help brainstorm solutions, provide encouragement, remove obstacles, share wisdom, and celebrate milestones and success.
What a great opportunity for an organization's members to contribute their expertise and wisdom (just-in-time) without having to make a large project based or leadership commitment that they may not be able to fulfill in the long-term.
Rather, individual members can serve the sponsor organization's community endeavors by supporting future-focused youth who are demonstrating servent leadership at such a young and impressionable age.
After all ...
It's ALL ABOUT GIVING BACK!

community

commitment to the community

non-profit and is clients
