Keep Lee County Beautiful will host this year’s Global Youth Service Day, Saturday, April 20, from 8:30 to 11 a.m., at Four Mile Cove Ecological Preserve in Cape Coral.

Established in 1988, Global Youth Service Day celebrates and mobilizes the millions of young people who improve their communities through service. GYSD is the largest service event in the world and the only one dedicated to the contributions that children and youth make 365 days of the year.

GYSD is celebrated each year in more than 100 countries, with young people working together — and with schools, youth organizations, nonprofits, community and faith-based organizations, national service programs, government agencies and adult mentors — to address the world’s most critical issues and change their communities.

Speaking about Global Youth Service Day, humanitarian Dr. Jane Goodall commented, “I have often said that every individual counts, every individual has a role to play, and every individual makes a difference. Global Youth Service Day proves it.”

Keep Lee County Beautiful is looking for volunteers, ages 12-24, to work in small groups to accomplish a variety of projects throughout the park.

All volunteers will receive a free lunch after the event to celebrate their accomplishments. Visit signupgenius.com for additional information and to register.
