SCHOLARS’ SUPPORT
Before they make it to college, young men and women must succeed in high school. Creating a pipeline of talented next-generation leaders requires the cooperation of educators and community members, because youth need inspiring, welcoming and supportive learning environments in order to succeed.
Talk to us about creating an annual essay contest for youth about identity and community and service learning stipends to help pay for books and other college needs in exchange for community hours, and opening talks with high schools and colleges to ensure that youth receive the full support of our educational institutions.
See our Research and Engagement pages to understand more fully the contributions by youth to community improvement through Service Learning and Research, as well as their authors' credits in Publications and presentations.
