About YSR Connect

Serve with Purpose. Lead with Confidence.

Welcome to YSR Connect — a program built for military youth and their families who want to step up, serve, and lead. YSR Connect (Youth Social Responsibility) empowers students in grades 6-12 to volunteer together, grow their leadership skills, and make a real impact across San Diego County.

Through hands-on service projects, youth gain confidence, teamwork skills, and a deeper understanding of their communities. And volunteering is just the beginning — YSR also offers leadership seminars, mentorship opportunities, and youth-led podcasts that give participants a platform to share ideas, build skills, and find their voice.

In partnership with the Armed Services YMCA San Diego, YSR Connect aims to:

Strengthen the military youth experience through leadership and personal growth
Empower youth to take action through meaningful community service
Provide leadership platforms including seminars and youth-led podcasts
Build strong peer connections with like-minded youth and families
Encourage civic engagement in the communities they call home
Bridge the military–civilian divide through shared service and collaboration

Together, we’re helping military youth grow into confident leaders and changemakers — one act of service at a time.
