GLOBAL YOUTH SERVICE DAY

• Global Youth Service Day (GYSD) is organized by Youth Service America with the Global Youth Action Network as its key partner and a consortium of international organizations and more than 100 national coordinating committees in participating countries.
• GYSD is celebrated in more than 120 countries in every region of the world.
• Within each country that celebrates Global Youth Service Day, a National Lead Agency convenes a coordinating committee of multiple organizations. Together, they do outreach at the national level and organize service projects for GYSD. A GYSD Secretariat located in the United States, with the advice of an International Coordinating Committee, provides support through communications, resources and materials.
