Now in its 27th year, Global Youth Service Day (April 17–19, 2015) is the largest community service event in the world, and the only event dedicated to celebrating the contributions that young people make to their communities year-round.
YSA (Youth Service America) is proud to support many Global Youth Service Day projects in and around Minneapolis-St. Paul with grants, ongoing technical assistance, and networking opportunities. Thousands of young people will serve and celebrate through these projects, demonstrating the power of youth to change their community with their service and leadership.
“We know that young people are uniquely suited to help solve problems – if given the opportunity,” said Steven A. Culbertson, president of YSA, the leader of GYSD. “Today’s social and environmental problems are immense; we need youth in Minneapolis-St. Paul to be leaders and problem solvers today, not just the leaders of a distant tomorrow.”
