Dear Colleagues in Service,
We're just 38 days away from Global Youth Service Day - April 24-26,
2009.
Global Youth Service Day is the largest annual service event in the
world. GYSD highlights and celebrates the difference youth make in their
communities year-round through community service and service-learning.
On April 24-26, 2009, millions of young will participate in and lead
service projects in all 50 states and in more than 100 countries around
the world. Young people, working with their families, schools, community
organizations, faith-based communities, and businesses, will improve
their communities by addressing critical issues such as global climate
change, education & illiteracy, poverty, health, hunger, and
homelessness. Learn more about GYSD, download planning resources, and
