Y.E.S. is a volunteer program for high school students of Active Duty/Title 10 Air Force members to earn a potential $1000 grant by working at an on-base location, and gaining valuable employment skills while serving their local community. Students claim their “banked” grant funding upon high school graduation to be applied directly toward post-secondary educational expenses.
