Youth Service America announces a new effective practices publication entitled Effective Practices for Engaging At-Risk Youth in Service. The guide provides an overview of the underlying theory and effective practices for engaging at-risk youth in service by examining the roles young people played – and can play – in serving their communities. The audiences for this publication are public officials, youth service and service-learning practitioners and teachers, researchers and others whose mission is to plan and implement community service programs for youth with diverse experiences and backgrounds.
Update: YSA seeks stories of youth who have overcome at-risk behavior or, have begun to heal from it, by engaging in service and finding fulfillment in giving back. These youth may then be featured in the book to be developed celebrating their example and their service. To learn more or submit your story, visit

YSA is proud to collaborate with Sesame Workshop and their partner, the Merrill Lynch Foundation, to bring you Panwapa, an initiative to inspire children, ages 4 to 7, to be responsible global citizens. Panwapa – which in the Tshiluba language of the Democratic Republic of Congo means “here on this earth” – has new muppets, new stories, a ground-breaking website (www.panwapa.com), and some exciting activities for kids to connect with their communities and to explore cultures around the world. As you engage young children as volunteers, consider the many resources Panwapa has to offer to support your efforts to educate the youngest generation of global citizens.
