Welcome to West Frisco
Mothers & Sons Serving Together to Impact Their Local Community
Welcome to the West Frisco Chapter of the Young Men’s Service League!
We are a group of Frisco moms dedicated to spending quality time with our sons while serving our community. Together we make lasting memories and have a positive impact on Frisco and the surrounding areas through service to many local philanthropies. We strive to instill a heart for service.
We are compassionate about the 3 pillars of YMSL – Serving, Learning and Leadership. In addition to supporting our community, YMSL offers a four-year curriculum and leadership opportunities. The young men attend meetings that cover topics such as civic responsibility, practical skills, life choices, social skills and more. YMSL also plans meetings to give moms the chance to make connections, build relationships and experience exciting learning opportunities.
We are glad you stopped by to read about our chapter. 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!
