United Way of the Greater Dayton Area’s Volunteer Connection is happy to report that we are the area lead agency for Global Youth Service Day (GYSD), an annual event from Youth Service America.  GYSD is the world’s largest group volunteer event.  We will be teaming up with schools, groups and non-profit partners to have opportunities for youth from ages 5 – 25.  As the lead agency for the three-county area, we will also be counting any activities during the date range of April 15 – May 15 which will energize that age group. If you have an activity with a youth group, please count participants, hours, and take pictures! Send this information to [email protected]. Our theme this year is Strong Leaders Spring into Action…let’s teach our young folks to advocate and lead for their communities!
