Canadian Youth Service Organisations

Introduction

This report was produced for a world-wide workshop on youth service sponsored by the Ford Foundation that WAS held in January, 2000. The purpose of this country profile is to describe youth service programmes in Canada. The programmes presented here meet two criteria: 1) they offer non-remunerated, in country community service specifically for youth; 2) they recroit participants from across Canada and not in any one single region, province, municipality  or organisation. Their presentation is preceded by a synopsis of key information on Canada and by historical elements on youth service in this country, and it is followed by a brief description of research on this topic and of lessons retained by the authors from this study. lndeed, we, the authors, consider our work to be an exploratory overview of youth service in Canada: exploratory, because current scholarship is lacking on this subject; an overview, since neither time nor resources allowed for an in-depth study. In fact, discoveries continued to be made until the very last days of our work. This leads us to believe that a more formai comprehensive investigation could be much more revealing than this report. This having been said, we believe that what follows portrays the general situation of youth service in Canada relatively well. We conclude with some thoughts on policy issues as they relate to youth development in general in this country.
