Ways to Give

A unique international cultural immersion experience through our Volunteer Program!

Sponsor a Student

Due to the low annual income of many families on Yap (average annual household income is approximately $9,000), about 50% of our student body requires financial aid in order to afford the $800/ year tuition and the actual cost per student per year is approximately $2,100.
 

All families contribute towards their child's education, but the amount varies for families that apply for financial assistance. To cover the costs of this financial aid, we must rely on outside sponsors who are willing to make a donation to go towards a student's tuition costs.
 

Typical sponsorship donations range from $200-$1,000 depending on what the benefactor chooses to contribute. Any amount is much appreciated and can make a difference in a student's ability to attend our Catholic, college preparatory school. If you choose to make a larger donation, you could be matched with more than one student.

Sponsors receive quarterly updates from their student(s) and the school including a thank you letter, photo, and report card. These quarterly updates are sent to sponsors via email.

If you would like to make a sponsorship donation, please contact us at ychsprincipal@gmail.com

Volunteers have the opportunity to become immersed in the traditional local culture.

Looking to do a year or two of service?

De  Sales Academy offers a unique cultural immersion experience through our Volunteer Program. Volunteers teach three academic classes at Yap Catholic High School in a small classroom environment. With ongoing support and mentoring from the school administration, along with bright, eager students who are excited to come to school each day, YCHS is the perfect place to learn how to teach.

Our volunteers live in a small, intentional community located in a local village which is right on the outskirts of the main town (Colonia) and a ten-minute drive from our school campus. Volunteers have the opportunity to become immersed in the traditional local culture. Each year, the volunteer community is given the opportunity for regular faith sharing and reflection with tremendous support from the local Catholic community.

Volunteers also help to moderate and coach clubs and sports activities, including campus ministry. Many volunteers have even started up new clubs and organizations based on their unique interests and talents.
