• To create a more just, sustainable, and peaceful world with young people, their schools, and their communities through service-learning. (NYLC)
• Youth service refers to non-military, intensive engagement of young people in organized activity that contributes to the local, national, or world community.
• The importance of Youth services is to get kids involved, develop programs that promote positive health and get kids active, playing, and learning.
• The youth are our future!

Interests?

• Im personally really interested in Youth Services because I feel deeply connected to our youth and really want to help make a difference in their lives. I want to be a mentor/guide that helps facilitate learning through activities, games, nature, and play. I want children to get a hands on learning experience and use nature as an outlet for knowledge. Together we can facilitate programs that will help with a Childs development and communication and be able to gain experience through play.

What I want to learn?

I want to learn more about different organization that I can volunteer at and get more involved in this semester. I want to know more about the career paths in youth services. Now that I'm a holistic health minor, Id like to know more about what I can do with both majors together. Am I able to teach kids in a more holistic approach? Talking more about nutrition and clean eating? I want to know how they can interrelate so I can be more knowledgeable and be able to continue this journey to help and guide kids.
