Country: Indonesia

Idea: Bringing together business organizations, NGOs, governmental institutions, schools and educational institutions to help teenagers understand and develop their potentials to prepare themselves as tomorrow leaders of Indonesia with high level of social responsibilities. It can be done by bringing volunteers (individual adults, NGOs, schools, governmental bodies) together to be involved in teenagers' teaching and learning process of universally positive values, development of character with leadership skills and rising awareness of alternatives options to make responsible choices in regards to social (including environmental)courses of action. Social responsibilities are introduced to teenagers through in- school and out-of-school programs.

How do you do it: 1. Develop a network of volunteers (2003) 2. Develop a network of financial sponsors (early 2004): business organizations and business people 3. Developing programs and implementations:YFL Camps (2004) 4. Developing partnerships project-based in implementation initiatives (2004):WWF,WI, Habitat for Humanity, YCAB, Coral Reef Indonesia for YFL Camp Two. 5. Develop in-school initiaties (2005): 6 months programs for grades 7th to 12th 6. Develop a network of schools (2005) 7. Develop relationships with local government or governmental institutions (2006) 8. Submit national-wide proposal for implementation of social responsibilities programs.

Innovation: This is the first initiative engaging corporations in Indonesia to contribute to sustainable, effective youth programs focusing on social responsibility. It relates to corporate social responsibilities (CSR), the concept that is widely supported by environmental and social activists and NGOs. Therefore, it's only natural that NGOs and governmental bodies with the same vision join in to help with the initiatives. On the other hand, it's also the first initiatives that focus on teenagers' holistic development (mind, body and soul) that are free of charge and given longitudinal individual monitoring. The programs for youth concentrate on learning universal, positive values guiding teens to choose alternatives of responsible actions.

Impact: Intervention is done involving groups of teenagers through schools and other educational institutions. However, the approach is individual: each teenager is a precious individual with many potentials to be developed on his/her free will. Universal positive values as part of social responsibilities (including environmental) are spread widely as more and more individuals (teen participants and adults volunteers),schools, NGOs and government bodies join in the initiative. Words of mouth, real changes in personal and community aspects and satisfied partners (individuals, schools, NGOs, government bodies) are the most effective "marketing tools" for this SR initiatives to gain acceptance and widely "imitated".SR should be practiced nationally.

Ethical Action: It is important to help teenagers to help themselves. Sometimes all can be done is showing them the real, possible alternatives available around them. Their concerns are real in their perspectives, and interventions must start from teens' perspectives (not to be imposed by adults blatantly). In YFL Camps, teens learn to deal with romantic relationships, school issues, peer-pressures. One example, a boy in the camp received a counseling for forcibly, publicly kissing a popular girl. From the accident, a program was designed to introduce the differences between boys and girls (sex education). On a more serious intervention, ex-members of a gang are closely monitored and encouraged to join as volunteers for participating NGOs.

Replication: In-school and out of school programs are given free for students, open for studying by adult volunteers and teachers, and conducted in as many schools as possible that give their consents. Therefore, I strongly believe that social responsibility modules and programs for teens can be replicated. SR (social responsibility) initiatives must be replicated nation-wide to enable changes for a better future.

Sustainability: Operation Perspective: a network of volunteers (individuals, NGOs and government institutions) and end- receivers (schools, teen participants)would keep the action going as they are the rightfull "owners" of the programs. E.g. Alumni of Camps (teens and adult volunteers) are encouraged to define and direct the course of subsequent activities and next Camps. Financial Perspective: Corporations and business people are engaged in dialogs about the value of Corporate Social Responsibilities. Reports and newsletter were given to sponsors after the funded activities. Furthermore, volunteers are involved in fund-raising (3 years campaign: 2005-2007) by personal donations, organizational pledges, and selling YFL merchandise and services.
