Welcome to Aggieland

Mothers & Sons Serving Together to Impact Their Local Community

Welcome to our chapter of the Young Men’s Service League!

The four years of high school go by incredibly fast. Finding time to spend together with your teenage son gets harder and harder. When you join YMSL, you commit to spending quality time together with your son serving your community.

In these moments, he sees your dedication to serving others. You see his eyes and heart become open to the world around him. These are memories to last a lifetime and service projects that impact our community forever.

In addition to service, YMSL offers valuable leadership opportunities and a four-year curriculum that covers topics such as car repair, interview skills, cooking, hazing prevention, and more.

We hope you will consider joining us. The time to start the membership process is during your son’s 8th-grade year. We look forward to meeting you and serving together. Scroll down for more details.

Testimonials

Serving at the Brazos Church Food Pantry is my favorite memory. It was gratifying to make food deliveries to the vehicles of the vulnerable in our community. The fellow volunteers at the Church Pantry were a pleasure to serve with.
