We assist State Afterschool Networks in identifying the information needed to build a sustainable model for service-learning integration that will increase the quantity and quality of service-learning experiences for young people. Selected states received funding, technical support, and trainings so that service-learning becomes a sustainable and systematic part of afterschool learning.
We are grateful to the Charles Mott Foundation, which supports this important effort to grow service-learning in the out-of-school space across the country.
“Because of our work with NYLC, our Youth Leadership Council (YLC) has expanded to a two-semester experience where high school students take charge to solve real problems in their programs. YLC projects have included staff training to better engage students with disabilities, the reintroduction of local field trips into the community, and the formation of new afterschool clubs determined by student interest collected in student surveys. We are so thankful for our work with NYLC and see the impact it is making on Nebraska’s students."
