National & Global Youth Service Day, April 20-22, 2007

Local Youth, Local Projects, Making a Difference

As Lead Agency for this year's National & Global Youth Service Day (N&GYSD), ShrevCORPS mobilized more than 500 youth to participate in service projects Friday, April 20 through Sunday, April 22, in the Shreveport/Bossier City area. Volunteer service-learning projects included litter abatement, tree repotting, beautification projects, and placing storm drain markers throughout the city. Projects were conducted at Eden Gardens Elementary, Summerfield Elementary, Caddo Career & Technology Center, LSUS, Walter B. Jacobs Nature Park, the Center for Families, and the Shreveport Bossier Rescue Mission.

National & Global Youth Service Day was coordinated by Youth Service America, in partnership with the National Youth Leadership Council and PARADE Magazine. The Presenting Sponsor of National & Global Youth Service Day is the State Farm Companies Foundation.
