The National Youth Leadership Council (NYLC) is a national

National Service-Learning Conference. The organization is a proponent of service-learning and national service in the United States.[1]

History

Founded in 1983, to "create a more just, sustainable, and peaceful world with young people, their schools, and their communities through service-learning".

Corporation for National Service focused on service learning.[4]

Programs

NYLC publishes an annual research publication, Growing to Greatness, that seeks to document the scope, scale, and impacts of service-learning. An edition has been published each year since 2004. Each edition features a series of topical research articles from leading scholars in the field as well as qualitative profiles of several U.S. states and territories and, increasingly, state-by-state data on service-learning and positive youth contributions.[5]

In 2008, NYLC released the K-12 Service-Learning Standards for Quality Practice that detail the eight standards of quality service-learning, with three to five accompanying indicators for each standard. The standards are the result of a national review process that began with research from the field and vetted the previously-published Essential Elements of Service-Learning through a series of reactor panels to arrive at the final document.[6]
