Service Year

A service year generally refers to a dedicated period, often one year, during which individuals volunteer or work in service roles aimed at community improvement, education, or national development. These programs can be organized by government agencies, non-profits, or educational institutions and may involve activities like teaching, environmental work, or supporting underserved populations. Participants often gain valuable skills, experience, and a sense of civic contribution while making a positive impact in the community. Service years can also be part of national service initiatives or gap-year programs, fostering personal growth and social responsibility.
