2010 Global Youth Service Day: Join Michigan's Efforts
The Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC) and Learn and Serve - Michigan are excited to mobilize youth across the state through volunteerism this April as part of the 2010 Global Youth Service Day (GYSD). This annual opportunity, held on April 23, 24, and 25, encourages children and youth to address the world's most critical issues by partnering with families, schools, community and faith-based organizations, businesses, and government.
GYSD is led by Youth Service America, with the MCSC serving as a GYSD Lead Agency to encourage service locally. As part of the MCSC's efforts, we are inviting you to participate in the 2010 GYSD Michigan Coalition.
The needs of Michigan are great, yet our state's young people have the skills, drive, and desire to help.They are the creativity of Motown, the innovation of the assembly line, and the social consciousness of the six hour work day. Help the MCSC illuminate the efforts of our young people this April…here's how you can get involved by committing to support the 2010 GYSD in Michigan in the following ways:
Plan a Global Youth Service Day event in your community.
