What is YSI?

YSI stands for Youth Service Initiative.
It is an organisation founded by young people, for young people and the overall aim is to create a ‘youth culture of service’ by encouraging young people to take initative in their community. At the same time YSI is a one year volunteer program for the international youths who want to train in becoming exemplary in the field of service.
We do as our title states; we are the YOUTH, our tool is SERVICE and we use our own INITIATIVE to make it happen. 

The one year program is divided into three stages of supporting and initiating projects. The first stages focuses on working locally in association with other organisations and as a result gaining valuable insight into the community. During the second stage our focus shifts to working internationally, including experiences of intercultural exchange and sustainable development in a third world country. The third and final stage requires each individual member of the team to use their interests, skills and experiences to create their own project, whilst supporting each others.

Primarily the years focus is to encourage young people to want to serve and positively contribute to society.

We hope that this blog can be a nice place for you to visit and have a look at what we are up to!

With love from the YSI Rotterdam Team!
