Global Youth Service Day

Global Youth Service Day will actually be observed the entire weekend of April 23-25, 2010


Check out the Official Website that is colorful, informative and fun.

"Global Youth Service Day is an annual campaign that celebrates and mobilizes the millions of children and youth who improve their communities each day of the year through service and service-learning.
Established in 1988, GYSD is the largest service event in the world and is now celebrated in over 100 countries. On GYSD, children and youth address the world’s most critical issues in partnership with families, schools, community and faith-based organizations, businesses, and governments.
Global Youth Service Day Goals

Mobilize
youth to identify and address the needs of their communities;
organizations to provide opportunities for youth engagement;
media and policy makers to promote and raise awareness of young people as assets and resources to their communities.

Support
youth on a lifelong path of service and civic engagement;
schools and organizations through training and technical assistance, grants, and resources that enable them to engage youth.

Sustain
community improvement through year-round engagement of youth as leaders and problem-solvers"

Personally I can't wait to celebrate GYSD in Ecuador. I am going to be going to San Pedro to help plan and begin a World Map Project.

Youth have so much energy, so much creativity and the real pure love to help build their communities. Take Action today, mobilize the youth in your area and help make a difference!

Suerte!
