The power built into the Community Service Program is the tried and proven result of decades of working with young people and understanding what it truly is they need to learn.

These seven years of the Community Service Program have brought DSY accolades from the School Board, Assistant Principles, teachers and parents. Even amongst the schools and districts that are not currently using the program, Dynamic Solutions for Youth (DSY) is the program that set the standard, and they often call on President and Program Designer, Keith Jackson, for resources, consultations and information.

​

DSY's Community Service Program has grown out of that long history of understanding and responding to young people and learning from them what works and what doesn’t. Much of the uniqueness of DSY's programming is due to our willingness to ask and then listen to what the young people themselves have said and that commitment creates the safe environment for them to flourish.
