National Youth Leadership Council
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The National Youth Leadership Council, or NYLC, is a national nonprofit organization that promotes service-learning in schools and communities across the United States. Founded in 1983, NYLC is led by Dr. James Kielsmeier, and is the host of the annual National Service-Learning Conference.
NYLC's mission is to: "Build vital, just communities with young people through service-learning." NYLC has led the primary national training activity for service-learning on contract with the Corporation for National Service since 1993, which currently operates as a network of five Regional Centers and 400 peer mentors.
Since 1989 NYLC has sponsored the annual National Service-Learning Conference, drawing 3000 participants representing every state and several countries. NYLC led a student news team to the Presidents' Summit in 1997 and cosponsored the subsequent 2000 National Youth Summit in Orlando. NYLC programs have included partnerships with schools, colleges, major corporations, government, faith-based organizations and other nonprofits.
