Global Youth Service Day (GYSD) is an annual global event organized by
Youth Service America and the Global Youth Action Network, together
with a consortium of 32 International Organizations and well over 100
National Coordinating Committees that celebrates, recognizes, and mobilizes
the year-round contributions of young people to build their communities
and their world through voluntary service, and the contributions made
by the community (public, private, and nonprofit sectors) for empowering
young people, especially through mentoring.

On Global Youth Service Day, millions of young people in countries
everywhere will highlight and carry out thousands of community improvement
projects. This day will be a way for local, national, and international
organizations to:

BUILD the capacity of an international network of organizations that
promotes youth participation, service, and learning;
EDUCATE the public, the media, and policy-makers about the year-round
contributions of young people as community leaders around the world;
MOBILIZE youth and adults to meet the needs of their communities
through volunteering; and
LEARN and share effective practices in youth service, youth voice, and
civic engagement in the world today.

April 15th to 17th marks the period of the Global Youth Service
Initiative. Visit http://www.gysd.net to learn more about events and
activities in your country.
