SWASP 2013 Community Service Component

The deadline for SWASP 2013 (Community Service Component) applications has now passed. Successful applicants will be notified by late May. Thank you for your interest in SWASP.

With assistance of a Community Youth Network Special Projects Grant, Youth Are Volunteering, a CSC-led project in partnership with Waypoints, aimed to build a model for engagement of resilient youth in volunteerism. The project added a new component to Waypoints pre-employment programs for youth, and built on CSC’s workshop offerings for youth.
