Cortland Youth Bureau

Community Service Credit Program

Teens who participate in the Helping Hands program, or do community service on their own, can turn their time into money – not cash, but discounts on field-trip fees. For every hour a youth spends volunteering, the Center will take $3.00 off the price of a trip. Teens can use their service-credits immediately or save them up for later use. Credits earned and used are recorded in a logbook.

For those interested in earning credits around town, a handy guide is available at the Center which lists the addresses and phone-numbers of local agencies and businesses who need volunteers. The staff at the Center can help you arrange a date and time.
