Youth Service Learning

Over half of the population in the Middle East, and Palestine, is under the age of 25. TYO is committed to engaging this important demographic, the leaders and parents of tomorrow. The TYO Youth Service Learning program is the ideal means to do so, providing young people with a positive outlet for their time and energy as well as personal and professional skills for their future.

Youth volunteers play a vital role in all of TYO’s programs. Students from An Najah and other local universities are trained in child development and facilitation skills, and oriented to TYO’s mission. Then they work 8-15 hours per week alongside professional TYO teachers. For their service, volunteers earn academic credit and a tuition grant, as well as invaluable practical experience and training.

These young people are an integral part of the TYO community, serving other members but also generating their own activities including community service projects, social events and academic networks. As well as its many benefits for participants, the Youth Service Learning program provides TYO children with role models who provide positive, individualized attention in the classroom and beyond.
