YSA National Service Briefings: 1/12/10
Ordinarily, we post a weekly blog entry with all of the briefings and updates we’ve run across over the course of the past week. However, since we’ve amassed a small backlog over the holidays, we thought it wise to separate this particular post by category (since there are many duplicates). This post contains a list of all of the interesting Youth Service America National Service Briefings we saw fit to pass on to our members. Please note that these briefings expire 30 days from their date of publication, so read them in a timely manner.
Below, we’ve listed the date of each briefing, along with three selected headlines from the contents (note that of course each briefing contains more content than just the excerpted headlines).
