National Youth Service Policy Worldwide
As of 2008, no comprehensive database
exists that can tell
us how many countries have NYSP but ICP is
working to gather this information
and will make it available in our global
youth service database. However, we do
know that countries around the world have
begun to implement national youth
service programs to engage young people in
community and national development,
build their skills for the future and respond
to critical community and
national needs.
Today, a diverse group of countries have national youth service policies including: Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Venezuela, Djibouti, Ghana, Nigeria, New Guinea, Italy, China, Malaysia and the Philippines. Many more countries have yet to pass or implement a national youth service policy but are considering doing so.
In addition to our growing database of youth service policies and programs, ICP periodically undertakes research for country case studies. Below are a few examples of country case studies in addition to some older country summaries produced for the Ford Foundation workshop in 2001 that are available on our publications page.
