Join us for this youth-led, youth-centered introduction to Service-Learning! After this session, you will have a fully-stocked toolkit for addressing genuine community needs.
To be effective facilitators, leaders must not only be informed about community assets and needs but also be aware of their own motivations and assumptions. In this session, participants will use NYLC’s “Equity in Service-Learning: Self-Assessment Tools for Community Engagement" to reflect on their own programmatic mindsets and intentions. Who is this for? Though these resources were designed for US-based service-learning practitioners, we invite any educators and out-of-school time professionals with some prior experience in community service and/or service-learning to explore how these tools might meet their needs.
This interactive workshop will ask participants to reflect and respond to questions related to service-learning such as: How can we best work towards supporting students to create service projects that are safe, inclusive, equitable, and just models of community engagement at all levels? How do we recognize our own limitations and develop supportive networks? This workshop is for anyone who works with local communities via service, advocacy, social and/or environmental justice, or those looking to learn more about service-learning and reciprocal community partnerships.
Looking for resources to start your service-learning experiences in your program? Looking to use service-learning as a strategy in your youth programming or classroom? Get a preview of some of the resources that NYLC has created to help you with that. The ENGAGE series and other Sustainable Development Goals Handbooks are free with subscribing to NYLC's membership program.
Calling all youth! Want to tell your service-learning story? We need YOU to share the importance of using service-learning with people who make decisions about its availability. Relate how you developed leadership skills, acquired new knowledge and worked with others to solve community problems using this teaching and learning experience. You’ll learn who to talk to, how to reach them, what to say to them, and why it’s so important. NOW is the time to share the power of your story. Your voice and story matter to others - let’s make sure others have these same opportunities to create the change they want to see in their world.

This tool asks educators to consider how social justice can and should be part of the service-learning process, with an emphasis on reciprocal partnerships, diversity, reflection, and youth voice as students examine the institutions, systems, and barriers that are at the roots of the issues they are addressing.
