ABOUT THE YOUTH SERVICE INSTITUTE
Youth
service is a proven strategy for improving communities across the globe
and practitioners are continually growing, learning, and implementing
better practices for community and youth development.
The 2007 Youth Service Institute (YSI) will unite participants from
the service, service-learning, and youth development fields for three
days of inspiration and innovation. Youth and adult attendees will
develop and build their impact and scale by sharing effective practices
and engaging in workshops that illustrate the strength and power of the
youth service movement.
The Youth Service Institute is the ideal environment for
participants to further develop their organizations and programs while
learning and sharing inventive ways to engage young people as assets
and resources on Global Youth Service Day and throughout the year.
YOUTH SERVICE INSTITUTE THEMEYouth
service allows young people to take action on very real and very
serious social issues, transforming themselves and their communities.
The youth service field is at a position of strength. This maturity,
combined with better positioning in the public’s eye and on the
candidates’ platforms, and with record participation by youth allows us
to think bigger and more boldly about breadth and depth. By “surfing
the wave of change,” we are embracing the opportunity to conquer some
of the world’s most challenging issues through youth service and
encouraging others to become engaged in this movement.
The Youth Service Institute will focus on four target areas of service and service-learning success: - Addressing critical global issues through strategic service
- Increasing the impact of youth service: effective methods
- Engaging youth audiences not typically asked to serve (disadvantaged youth, youth with disabilities, younger children, etc.)
- Planning effective projects: nuts and bolts
