In modern society where youth spend more time watching TV, playing video games, and instant messaging than theydo hanging out with friends (live) or spending time in their communities, it is clear that something needs to change. Many students ranging from kindergartners to 12th
graders have the interest and passion to "do good", but they neither have the knowledge to carry out the task, nor the resources to do so. That's where The LEAGUE, along with The LEAGUE National Youth Commission (NYC), come in.
The LEAGUE National Youth Commission is a group ofhigh-school and young college students that serve as national youth philanthropic leaders. We serve three main purposes: to stand as advocates in support of The LEAGUE, to serve as a think-tank to generate new ideas
for The LEAGUE, and to monitor The LEAGUE programs while serving as youth representatives for The LEAGUE.
All-in-all, our goal is to share and spread our personalspirits and interests in service and to figure out how to get others in our communities to become involved and find
their own interests in doing good. While many people argue that they "don't have a cause to
serve" or that it may not be fun to be altruistic, truly everyone has something that they can give back to and doing good is one of the most rewarding activities that one can do.
As the National Youth Commission, we need to figure out how to initially get others engaged in service so that they can come to realize the pride, self-fulfillment, and fun that result from doing good. Then we must help them maintain involvement in a project or for a cause that interests them. In order to achieve these goals, the National Youth Commission has and is looking for a member base of diverse students with varied charitable interests, such as health, education,
environment, economics, and community. If you are someone who has a passion for a cause and would like to help spread that spirit of community, then The LEAGUE National Youth Commission is for you.
To become a member, please email your name, grade, school, and state to
youthcommission@leagueworldwide.org.
Best,
Daniel Fine
Chair of the National Youth Commission
