National Youth Service Day

All around the country, youth are coming together to make their communities a better place – by volunteering for the National Youth Service Day, April 16-18, 2004!

Created by Youth Service America, National Youth Service Day (NYSD) is the largest service event in the world, focusing national attention on the amazing leadership of young people and teens.

National Youth Service Day is also an opportunity to recruit the next generation of volunteers while promoting the benefits of youth service to the American public.

Youth Service America and more than 50 National Partners, including Camp Fire USA, are participating in this year’s event.

On National Youth Service Day, millions of young people will carry out thousands of community improvement projects, youth forums and celebration events. Projects range from serving food in homeless shelters, tutoring children, sending care packages to US military overseas and cleaning up rivers.
