Youth Service in Latin America and the Caribbean

Community and National Service

We assessed the status of youth volunteer service in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC), such as who serves and is served, the programs’ goals and activities, administrative structures, and organizational sponsors. Data for this research came from a cross-sectional survey of youth volunteer service programs in 12 countries across the LAC region. Evidence suggests that youth volunteer service has the potential to serve as a broader strategy for social and economic development. Funding Partners: Ford Foundation, Inter-American Development Bank
