Youth & Young Adult Service Learning & Career Pathway Programs

  • W“Train-the trainer” programs for Teachers & Youth Facilitators in classroom-based or after-school sites, including community and faith-based youth groups.
  • WYouth programs enhance Youth Empowerment, Resilience, Hope & Peace.
  • WThey also prepare youth for a Productive Transition to post-high school Careers & Healthy Lifestyles

Our programs are for you, if you’re a teacher or leader of an organization who relates to this:

  • WYou care deeply about helping these young people enhance their learning, so that they can make positive transitions to adult living.
  • WYou want to expand your skill level and find other valuable resources to have a positive effect, and increase your ability to serve.
  • WYou are interested in a service learning methodology because it empowers young people - and by getting young people involved in their learning by giving them creative opportunity and skill, they can connect to real life programs, and are going to retain 90% of what they learn.
  • WYou value a system that meets rigorous educational standards, as well as organization objectives and values

The reality in our modern world is, young people are not as engaged to learn…

Young people are not as engaged to learn, make a difference, and have a purpose. We need them to be engaged, purposeful, and passionate about making change. To do so, it’s our opportunity to make them excited about learning.

Our Service Learning and Career Pathways Programs provide our youth from elementary school ages through college an effective process for learning through these 4 stages:
