Youth service refers to programs and activities that are designed to support and engage young people, typically those between the ages of 12 and 18. Youth service programs may be offered through schools, community organizations, or other groups, and may focus on a variety of areas, including education, employment, leadership development, and community service.
The goal of youth service programs is to provide young people with opportunities to develop their skills and interests, build connections with their communities, and contribute to the common good. Youth service programs may also provide support and guidance to young people who are facing challenges or who may be at risk of disengaging from school or other positive activities.
Youth service programs may be funded by government agencies, foundations, or private donations, and they may be staffed by paid professionals or volunteers. These programs can play an important role in helping young people develop the skills and confidence they need to succeed in school and beyond.
