Global Youth Service Day: April 24-26
Global Youth Service Day (GYSD) is an exciting event where millions of youth in over 100 countries organize community service projects to address needs of their local communities through service, to be recognized for their contributions, and to be a part of a global youth service movement. This year Global Youth Service Day will be April 24-26. We encourage all ExCEL After School Programs to join the movement and participate in service projects during this week in April.
If you need assistance in planning for GYSD, ExCEL After School Programs is offering three service learning project kits: a community cleanup project kit, a community mural project kit, and a penny fundraiser project to buy malaria bednets. If you are interested in receiving materials for one of these kits, please complete the GYSD registration form and return it to Kamil Faridi by Friday April 3.
