The purpose of the Youth Service Partnerships (YSP) Program is to empower and educate youth about their social responsibility and to bring their voice to the forefront at every stage of service provision and development. Youth at every stage of life should be equipped with all the relevant knowledge they need to achieve their social, personal and economic responsibilities as they grow.

What Needs to be Done

Youth support activities that are conducted in schools, on community and other venues have been proven to help empower young people and create a sense of belonging. This makes them more confident, happy, active and successful. YSP programs make use of various methods to empower youth and promote positive social change through community involvement. They teach young people about their rights, how to exercise and protect them and how to get engaged in their communities and take part in community building.

Youth and young people who are under the age of 18 require special care and respect. YSP programs aim to ensure that all children and young people are given proper attention and protection by the authorities and their families. They also play an important role in shaping the character of young people who are involved in community activities.

Programs

Most community based and government-funded programs of youth support focus on promoting social and community involvement of young people in youth leadership activities. These activities can be in the form of youth leadership development programs such as community service projects, youth-based leadership training programs, youth summer camps, etc. The objectives of these programs are to help young people become self-confident, responsible citizens and leaders who contribute positively to their communities and societies.

Community-based YSP programs aim to empower young people by providing them with proper guidance, opportunities and skills to achieve their dreams. Through youth leadership programs, several activities are offered such as community building and youth leadership activities. These activities include community health education programs, community clean-ups, youth sports and athletic events, youth festivals and other social programs aimed at enriching the quality of life and empowering young people.

Government-funded Youth Service Partnership’s programs aim at transforming young people’s lives by enabling them to attain better livelihood and education and improving their social status. Through community-based programs such as education, job placement, financial assistance and scholarships are offered to these children and young people.

There are also Youth Service Partnership programs which are implemented by various organizations, non-profit groups and corporations and associations to help empower young people, bring their voices to the fore and bring positive social change in their community. This includes projects like community health programs, youth leadership development, youth summer camp programs, community building programs, and community development programs. These youth-based initiatives are designed to strengthen and uplift the youth and the youth of their community.

Community Support

To achieve the goals and objectives of YSP programs, support from the community is a key component. Community-based support for youth activities is always the best way to help young people develop and grow as individuals. However, the best way to achieve this support is to engage a professional service provider for support at an early stage of the project.

Youth support requires the engagement of trained counsellors who will help youth develop effective and constructive strategies to overcome problems faced by them. Counsellors can assist youth by offering practical solutions to common problems and provide training on how to deal with them.

Some youth support services include group sessions, workshops and educational sessions for young people, or support by groups of individuals. The counsellors can help young people improve their knowledge about how they can cope with various challenges in their lives, enhance their confidence, build up self-esteem and learn how to maintain a positive attitude.

Support for youth from professionals who have proven track records in this field and the experiences they have with youth is always a better option than trying to train the whole community on how to make a difference in the lives of young people. This is the best way to reach your youth’s needs in the best possible way possible. This is the only way to ensure that your youth get the best support possible.
