Do you want to make a difference in the world?

KEYS Service Corps members dedicate their energy to creating a brighter future for youth throughout Allegheny County.

As a KEYS AmeriCorps member, you will work directly with school-age children to help them reach their academic potential. You will help shape their futures through structured school and afterschool programs. You will guide them as they learn the value of community service.

Our members work hand-in-hand with teachers and after-school personnel to help the youth they serve complete their homework and classwork.
