GYSD 2011!

Are you interested in participating in the largest service event in the world? Global Youth Service Day 2011 is coming up! This year, it is held on April 15 - 17, 2011. The Utah Federation for Youth is proud to have been chosen as the Lead Agency for GYSD 2011.

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, Global Youth Service Day is the largest service event in the world, and the only day of service dedicated to children and youth. GYSD is celebrated each year in over 100 countries.

Each year, millions of children and youth around the world work together with schools, youth organizations, nonprofits, community and faith-based organizations, volunteer and national service programs, government agencies, faith communities, and other individuals to address the world’s most critical issues and change their communities on Global Youth Service Day.
