About This Program

Nearly every day after school, there are community service opportunities available through EDGE@Work’s Community Service Program. This is the only program of its kind in the area, and it provides coordination as well as transportation and supervision while teens serve the under-resourced in their own community. 

**Community Service Forms (separate from teen center registration) are required from each teen in order to serve with us, click this link to register.  These must be submitted to volunteer and ride in the EDGE van.
