By engaging our nation's young people in service-learning, Learn and Serve America instills an ethic of lifelong community service.

Through a Learn and Serve grant, the National Netowrk for Youth has undertaken an initiative to include the improvement of legal avenues for unaccompanied youth to seek protection; improvement of services and stability for these youth; and improvements in the rights and protections of unaccompanied youth established in state.
