Youth Leadership for Community Action

Sponsored by The Ford Family Foundation, SOLV's Youth Leadership for Community Action guide helps to build community in rural Oregon through service-learning projects.

This youth leadership guide is designed to help students envision, organize, and implement successful community projects in partnership with community members. Students are taught and then utilize various leadership skills throughout the experience, promoting youth stewardship, civic engagement, and community awareness.

This guide is specifically designed to meet the new Oregon high school graduation requirements. Students must demonstrate competency in the Career-Related Learning Standards and must successfully complete an extended application. For more information please contact Quintin Bauer.
