Building an SDG Youth Corps

This one hour session will review the SDG Youth Corps as part of the United Nations Regional Centre of Expertise (RCE) on Education for Sustainable Development in Georgetown, SC, an initiative of Coastal Carolina University, Georgetown County, and the Bunnelle Foundation in South Carolina. RCEs promote multi-stakeholder engagement for transformative learning and change in the framework of the SDGs among campus and community partners. This discussion will focus on the Youth Corps program and how students intern in community public and private organizations to gain career experience and contribute to building a more sustainable community. Youth Corps students will reflect on their experiences and their SDG assessments they are composing based on their internship organizations. A review of the program, its processes, and outcomes over the last 5 years will also be examined through the lens of building transformative learning and community spaces.
