The YSA Youth Venture program is a program partnership between Youth Venture and Youth Service America.  The partnership is committed to creating a "network of youth people leading sustainable community change."  Through YSA Youth Venture, youth are able to create ventures or programs that help change the perception of youth.  Ventures are ongoing, sustainable organizations that positively impact the community.

YSA Youth Venture offers up to $1,000 in start-up funds to individuals or groups who are staring their own venture.  The members applying for the fund must be ages 12-20 years of age and based in the United States.  The venture must benefit the community and be youth-created and youth-led.  The venture must be new, not previously existing before, and must be sustainable, not a short-term project.
