Promising Youth Development Strategies: Youth Service Programs

This study provides policy makers and program planners interested in youth service programs in developing countries with a history of the evolution of youth service in different regions. It offers four program models based on program goals and the needs of specific youth cohorts: (1) In-school service learning for secondary school students, (2) mandatory community service for university graduates, (3) population-wide national youth service programs, and (4) service programs for out-of-school unemployed youth.
