The role of the District Youth Service Committee is to recommend, coordinate and support clubs in District 9800 to deliver effective Youth Service programs. These programs are District Managed, District Endorsed, or District Supported programs. Essentially, the objective is to provide innovative and practical opportunities, to assist and motivate children, young people, and associated stakeholders in our communities to acquire learning and life skills. The District Youth Committee is open to recommendations, feedback, and offers to launch new projects and expand current programs.
