Young People Want to Change The World—Here's How We Can Help

Nearly 80% of young people in America recognize the benefits of community service, and want to create change. But many say they don’t know how to get started—they need on-ramps to connect to service opportunities that speak to their interests and values, as well as programs designed with their input in mind. In this session, hear firsthand from "The New Volunteers," young people across the country who were motivated to start or join service-based clubs, or even form their own nonprofits—and discover what support they feel others like them need to create a culture of youth-led service.
