National & Global Youth Service Day, the largest service event in the world takes place on April 20-22, 2007. National Youth Service Day 2007 is part of the Eighth Annual Global Youth Service Day

Children and teens join together from school groups, faith-based organizations, sports leagues, and other clubs will lend a hand to people in their communities.

National & Global Youth Service Day supports youth on a life-long path of service and civic engagement, and educates the public, the media, and elected officials about the role of youth as community leaders.

This year participation has been simplified to allow you to either start a project with your youth or simply incorporate or designate an existing project the week before or after April 20-22, 2007 as a N&GYSD project.

Each year the program grows in number of participants and in partnerships. This year the event is sponsored by Parade Magazine and State Farm Companies Foundation
