As a California Department of Education Service Learning Regional Lead, Youth Community Service convenes the Regional Service Learning Advisory Consortium (RSLAC). RSLAC members meet three times per year to share best practices, strategize, and advise on how to support service-learning in the region. RSLAC members come from K-18 education and regional community-based organizations.

If you are interested in learning more about this initiative, or becoming a participant in a local partnership, please contact Judy Dauberman, Service Learning Director at YCS, judy@youthcommunityservice.org.
