Global Youth Service Day, a weekend in April designed to focus the world's attention on the contributions of young people, will be April 24-26th.
GYSD is a world wide event that brings together millions of young people in service projects all over the world. Last year, in Washington D.C., youth from various faith communities partnered with Habitat for Humanity to build housing around the Anacostia River, while 40 youth in Tarija, Bolivia held a workshop on how to disinfect drinking water. This year's many events include beach cleanup in Santa Monica, CA, an orphanage visit in Accra, Ghana, and malaria education in Jakarta, Indonesia.
The weekend's events are organized by Youth Serve America, the National Youth Leadership Council, and the Global Action Youth Council. The day is being promoted by Miley Cyrus, and the website lists hundreds of events going on in communities all over the world.
