Points of Light Institute is extremely pleased to announce that we intend to add the program resources of the LEAGUE to our portfolio, increasing our capacity to inspire,
equip, and mobilize young people to take action that changes the world. In particular, these resources will add to our ability to reach youth and to engage schools in creating
a culture of service starting in the earliest grades.
The LEAGUE is a school and online system for service learning, with Learning to Give as its curriculum for teaching K-12 philanthropy. Learning to Give is a leading program that meets education standards in all 50 states, and teaches kids the power of service and giving. It will be an extraordinary complement to the array of programs and resources offered by our generationOn, which is the largest youth volunteer service organization in the nation.
Through generationOn we will scale access to service and civic engagement resources to teachers and education administrators, and mobilize the energy and compassion of young people to transform the world and themselves through service. The significant added resources of the LEAGUE programs in 700 schools, its service coach model, the Learning to Give curriculum, and its Parade All American High School Team Service Awards will help us realize a truly comprehensive approach to improving schools and leveraging service learning to improve the academic and life success of students.
Our increased abilities are particularly important given our commitment to the national Graduation Nation effort, as we empower young people to discover their potential as world citizens through service and equip teachers and families with the tools and resources to support them.
Building upon the terrific assets and leadership of the LEAGUE, we look forward to creating communities and institutions where every young person realizes his/her power to make a difference.
In late June at the National Conference on Volunteering and Service in New York City, we will reveal our new and innovative plans to reach and transform youth and schools across the country. We will bring the best resources and models forward for schools to use and replicate across the nation.
