HCHY List: YSA National Service Briefing: Miley Cyrus and Youth Service America Join Forces to Ask Youth to Change the World on Global Youth Service Day

[Michael Minks]

Miley Cyrus is joining forces with Youth Service America to promote
community service for the 21st annual Global Youth Service Day (GYSD) on
April 24-26, 2009.  Through the new Miley.YSA.org website, Miley sends
out a call to service to children and youth, ages 5-25, to take action
and share their stories, videos, and photos for GYSD.

 

Global Youth Service Day is the largest service event in the world and
draws the world's attention to the amazing contributions young people
make to their communities every day.  Millions of youth in more than 100
countries will organize community service projects that address problems
in health, education, human service, and the environment. 

 

The new online community gives kids the opportunity to find solutions,
take action, and share results, supporting Miley's passion toward youth
service. The network features are built on a Ning platform and include:

* A video call-to-service from Miley 

* 100 Ways to Change the World 

* The chance to participate in a service project with Miley 

* Opportunities for kids to support each other through story telling,
photos, videos, blogs, about how they can improve their communities.
