NYLC awards shine a spotlight on exemplary leaders from across the service-learning movement and nurture the leaders of the future. Most awards are presented annually at the National Service-Learning Conference.

2010 has started off well for youth initiatives at NYLC. In January, Best Buy’s @15 campaign, which had designated NYLC as one of four organizations eligible to receive funding, resulted in more than $23,000 going to youth initiatives. And in February, the State Farm® Youth Advisory Board awarded a $100,000 grant to NYLC to expand the annual National Youth Leadership Training into a year-round program.
