“These kids need jobs“ says a SASEF Volunteer in 2006

youth education for employment

SASEF youth volunteers were receiving certificates of appreciation, invitations to state dinners and reward ceremonies but no employment opportunity that could help them pay for more education or skills training. 



preferential treatment for youth who volunteer

volunteering develops employable skills

A Seat in The Class and a Job to Pay For It - is our call to action for a global movement offering preferential treatment to youth who have shown commitment to community service by volunteering in non-profit; organizations, programs and projects, or a service-oriented campaign that serves to improve their community.

We call on decision makers, universities, public and private corporations, governments at the municipal, state and federal levels to recognize and reward youth commitment to community service by giving them preferential treatment in the form of a job to help them pay for reduced tuition fees at all levels of education; primary and secondary, vocational skills training, college, and university.

Young people need priority placement for employment and educational opportunities. Youth education and employment policies can include referendums and laws to mandate this change in social reform.
