Train with us
| Want to hone your leadership skills? Explore other cultures and communities? Learn about the environment? Take action and really make a difference? Then train with AYEA. AYEA members and adults can volunteer to help at any of our trainings throughout the year. AYEA seeks youth and adults from diverse backgrounds, communities, and cultures to help lead trainings—experience is not always necessary, but enthusiasm is! |
