At the White House Conference on Child Care, President Clinton announced steps to use community service to strengthen after-school programs. These individuals work alongside child care providers, educators, and community-based professionals across the country. The To Learn and Grow Initiative will build on this experience to show programs across the country how to use volunteers and others engaged in service to provide better care to more children.
Young people can also benefit from serving others after school hours.
In addition, the Corporation's Learn and Serve program supports service-learning programs across the country, where young people serve and then reflect on that experience. The To Learn and Grow Initiative's manual and training activities will guide after-school programs in incorporating service into their activities. Go to the next article.
