Celebrate Earth Day, Global Youth Service Day

And National Volunteer Week

 

 

Several National Days of Service occur each Spring to recognize the importance of volunteerism and to encourage others to get involved in helping strengthen their communities. These special days include Earth Day, April 22, 2008, with its emphasis on environmental action; National Volunteer Week, April 27- May 3, thanking one of America’s most valuable assets--our volunteers--and calling attention to all that they do to improve our communities; plus Global Youth Service Day, April 25 – 27; and Join Hands Day on May 3.

 

National Volunteer Week is sponsored by the Points of Light Foundation & Hands on Network  to celebrate the power volunteers have to inspire the people they help and to inspire others to serve!

 

The weekend before National Volunteer Week (April 25-27) is designated as Global Youth Service Day (GYSD). Young people across the world will work to fill important unmet community needs through service projects addressing literacy, hunger, public safety, the environment, and other issues as part of this annual event. A program of Youth Service America (YSA), GYSD is promoted as the largest service event in the world, engaging millions of youth during the weekend.

 

The Volunteer Center For Anne Arundel County is working with local agencies to provide you, your friends and families with a variety of opportunities to celebrate, serve your community and HAVE FUN!  Contact the Volunteer Center at 410-897-9207 or info@volunteerannearundel.org for a FREE Resource Guide listing April 13 – May 10 volunteer opportunities. Download the Resource Guide at www.VolunteerAnneArundel.org.
