Regional Capacity Building
ICP works with
partners around the world to identify specific
problems and opportunities in
recognition that programs and policies are
shaped by the political and cultural
context of each country.
ICP
bases its work on effective practices, but
does not prescribe a single way to
“do” youth policy or youth service
programming. Learn

Youth
Service and Climate Change
To avoid the most
devastating
impacts of global warming, greenhouse gas
emissions must start declining this
decade, and by 2050 be 80 percent below their
1990 level.
Service
as a Strategy For Development
Through
this initiative, ICP is working to build the
youth service field through
research on how national youth service,
service-learning, and other civic
engagement initiatives contribute to positive
youth and human development. Learn

Summer
of Service

provide experiential learning

during the summer months. ICP's work
on this project has included assistance with
drafting the legislation, building
support among stakeholders, and extensive
research on existing programs. Learn
