Lets Celebrate Global Youth Service Day!

To International Youth Council,

Mark your calendars - GYSD 2010 will be April 23-25

Global Youth Service Day is an annual campaign that celebrates and
mobilizes the millions of children and youth who improve their
communities each day of the year through service and service-learning.

Established in 1988, GYSD is the largest service event in the world
and is now celebrated in over 100 countries. On GYSD, children and
youth address the world’s most critical issues in partnership with
families, schools, community and faith-based organizations,
businesses, and governments.

IYC Mission

The International Youth Council (IYC) is a non-profit, non-governmental organization founded at the UN Youth Assembly in 2007 dedicated to giving young people across the world both collective voice and a mechanism to support global sustainable development.

Our mission is to bring together and support young leaders from around the world in pursuit of partnership, progress, and the Millennium Development Goals. We seek to empower the next generation of leaders by providing them with the training, resources, and opportunities they need to succeed. We also advocate for an official body representative of the youth within the United Nations power structure.

We hope to inspire the youth of the world to act and give them the tools to make a difference.
