Abstract

Engaging young people in environmental service projects is an innovative way of achieving several priority objectives through one single intervention. A well-designed Youth Conservation Corps can provide youth with skills that enhance their employability, protect or restore critical ecosystems, and create a pro-conservation citizenry. This issue of Youth Development Notes profiles Youth Conservation Corps interventions in developed and developing country contexts and offers some guiding principles on effective program design.
