Getting youth involved in volunteer service is one of the best ways to promote healthy development, so the YMCA Center for Asset Development teaches others about best practices in service-learning.
We had a lot of fun with 28 girls in Volunteer Camps at Harpeth Hall School this past summer. Check out our Web site, www.theassetedge.net, then click on “blog” in the sidebar.
