Thank you to everyone who volunteered for Global Youth Service Day!  Together we made our community a better place to live!

Global Youth Service Day is the largest service event in the world. Millions of youth participated in the 20th Annual Global Youth Service Day.  VOLUNTEER Hampton Roads coordinates the project at a local level throughout Hampton Roads by engaging hundreds of middle and high school students to volunteer in their community through environmental clean ups.

The goals of Global Youth Service Day are:

• To MOBILIZE youth to identify and address the needs
  of their communities through service.

• To SUPPORT youth on a life-long path of service and
  civic engagement.

• To EDUCATE the public, the media, and our
  communities about the year-round contributions of
  young people as community leaders.

Project:  Middle and high school students participate in environmental clean-up projects throughout Hampton Roads at project sites including Barraud Park, Chesapeake Arboretum, First Landing State Park and Hoffler Creek Wildlife Preserve.  Youth volunteers are encouraged to continue to serve their community by receiving a Global Youth Service Day Environmental Education Resource CD.
