The Power of Youth Serving Youth
April 25-27, 2008

The purpose of National Youth Service Day is to empower young people, highlighting their ongoing contributions to their communities and mobilizing their energy, commitment, and idealism through sustainable service.

Millions of youth participate in Global Youth Service Day, the largest service event in the world. They tutor young children, engage in disaster relief, register new voters, educate their communities about good nutrition, distribute HIV/AIDs prevention materials and meet many more community needs through their service. Global Youth Service Day supports youth on a life-long path of service and civic engagement, and educates the public, the media, and elected officials about the role of youth as community leaders.

In celebrating National Volunteer Week, Hands On Ogeechee will observe Youth Service Day by partnering with Habitat for Humanity of Bulloch County and other organizations in the area to lead youth in service to our community on Saturday, April 26th. Details will be available on this site in the near future.

To sign-up to participate, email volunteer [ at ] handsonogeechee.net or phone 912-481-5148 for more information.
