YPS offers certificates of recognition to schools and organizations with youth service programs in Cuyahoga, Geauga, Lake, or Lorain counties. Any student in grade K-12 who participates in community service and/or service-learning activities during the school year is eligible. Certificates are issued with each individual student's name and the name of the school or organization. We recommend awarding certificates at school award ceremonies or recognition events. Service-learning community partner organizations can present certificates to students in schools. This is a great opportunity to recognize and reward student service accomplishments.
Certificate requests can be submitted in the spring of each year.
