Youth Leaders In Service

Youth Leaders in Service provides training and support to youth program leaders that engage rural and tribal youth, ages 11-17, living in Montana, Wyoming, and South Dakota's Pine Ridge Reservation, in leading service-learning activities that create healthier communities. 

Adults work with youth to determine meaningful community service projects, provide training and reflection on the process, support the recruitment of additional adult volunteers, and manage grant funds and documentation. 

Youth, with service-learning adult mentors, design and implement innovative service projects with local community partners that improve their community and build their civic engagement, academic, leadership and community problem solving skills. 

Please feel free to download and use the service-learning resources provided by Hopa Mountain on the right side of this page.  For more service-learning resources, please visit www.servicelearning.org.
