This edition of the Youth Service Journal is intended to be a starting point
for understanding some of the promising practices for engaging foster youth in
community service. The ideas expressed in this document reflect the dialogue
among participants at the Working Group. All young people have a lot to gain
from community involvement activities that will last throughout their lives.</span></font></p>
