~ Form MUST be filled out completely and have at least 8 separate electives listed, in order of priority (1-8). If the required number of choices is not provided, students may be scheduled in ANY available class.

An opportunity for moms and sons: The Young Men's Service League is a national nonprofit that fosters leadership and a love of service during the high school years.

We are establishing a brand new YMSL chapter here in Douglas County. We are hosting an informational session to share more about how the organization works. A few quick things about YMSL:

• The organization was founded in 2001 in Texas.

• There are over 150 chapters nationwide. Our new Douglas County chapter will be the fifth in Colorado.

• YMSL requires young men to volunteer 20 hours per school year. They make it easy with national partnerships like Special Olympics, Habitat for Humanity and Ronald McDonald House. 10 hours each year will be service performed as mother and son. YMSL service hours can count towards Douglas County School District's requirements!

• YMSL looks awesome on a college application!
