As the national expert on service-learning in the United States, NYLC is proud to be part of multiple national and international networks that are advocating to advance and expand service-learning in schools and community organizations. Through collective action on public policy, advocacy, research, and partnerships, NYLC is leading the charge to increase the national visibility of service-learning and to gain new champions both on Capitol Hill and in classrooms across the United States.
The Service-Learning Exchange, hosted by NYLC, is a convening point for state agency staff, state commissions, network leaders, district representatives, researchers, and other service-learning champions focused on the quality of K-12 service-learning practice across the U.S. By joining, you’ll gain exclusive insights into the latest research developments and thought leadership, learn about the scope and scale of practice, exchange information and ideas from your state or network, and meet potential collaborators.
The Exchange meets virtually twice a year—once in the fall and again in the spring—providing a space to share, explore, and identify emerging trends. Be part of the conversation and help shape the future of the service-learning landscape in the US.
A coalition of education and youth development advocates is organizing an effort to renew funding for service-learning in schools and community organizations across the United States. Join us as we advocate for a dramatic increase in service-learning opportunities for K-12 students, empowering them with the skills they need to be successful in school and as active members of a democratic society.
The RED Ibero-American Service-Learning Network was founded by CLAYSS and NYLC in 2005. Today, it convenes more than 74 governmental organizations, civil society organizations, universities, and regional organizations from Latin America, the Caribbean, United States, and Spain. Two meetings are held annually, one at the International Service-Learning Conference and one at the National Service-Learning Conference.
We actively participate in the CivixNow Coalition as we work to develop a growing base of champions in national and world leaders. CivixNow is a national cross-partisan coalition of 265+ organizations focused on improving our nation’s K-12 civic education. We are also proud to be a founding member of The Minnesota Civic Education Coalition, founded to establish a civic seal in the state of Minnesota!
The National Service-Learning Clearinghouse (formerly housed at the Corporation for National and Community Service) offers resources, tools, and more that support the service-learning community in higher education, kindergarten through grade twelve, community-based organizations, tribal programs, and all others interested in strengthening schools and communities using service-learning. The resources can now be found in the NYLC Resource Library.
