BUILD the capacity of an international network of organizations that promotes youth participation, service, and learning;

EDUCATE the public, the media, and policy-makers about the year-round contributions of young people as community leaders around the world;

MOBILIZE youth and adults to meet the needs of their communities through volunteering; and

LEARN and share effective practices in youth service, youth voice, and civic engagement in the world today.
