Kids Solving World Problems
March 20, 2012 Tuesday AT 3PM CT

 
 

Global Youth Service Day is one month from today. Organized by YSA, Youth Service America, it recognizes young people, ages 5-25, in all four corners of the planet who are working to solve serious social and environmental problems 365 days of the year. I first learned about this organization and met Steve Culbertson, its dynamite leader, at last year’s Summit on Global Citizen Diplomacy, and got really enthused when I learned about some of the incredible things these kids are up to. Lots of inspiration here.
