Support Educators
For 30 years NYLC has been the leading resource for schools and organizations that believe in the power of young people. Every day we live our mission with the youth, teachers, schools, districts, and out-of-school programs that partner with us to engage student through service-learning.
NYLC delivers research-based service-learning professional development that supports educators.
