About Youth Leaders in Service
Youth Leaders in Service engages rural and tribal youth, ages 11-17, living in Montana, Wyoming, and South Dakota, in leading service-learning activities that create healthier communities. Adult service learning program directors work with youth leaders to determine a meaningful community service project, provide training and reflection on the process, support the recruitment of 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.
