Global Youth Service Day

Today Caitlin, Lucy, and myself had a meeting with some of Northeastern's Foundation Year students regarding Global Youth Service Day. (Foundation Year is a program run by Northeastern for Boston students who have graduated high school yet want to take a year to improve their credentials and take classes before going on to college.) GYSD is an annual international event, focused on mobilizing youth to improve their community through service. Since all of the Foundation Year students are natives of Boston, they have an increased passion for improving the Boston community. The meeting this morning went very smoothly, with everyone brainstorming their goals for the impact of our project, as well ways in which we can execute the project. I will be sure to give more updates on this exciting project as it develops.

If you or anyone you know is interested in participating in GYSD, you can find out more information at http://gysd.org/
