GenerationOn presents Make Your Mark Week (formerly Kids Care Week) to inspire and mobilize kids of all ages to use their energy, ingenuity and compassion to "make their mark on the world" through hands-on service. Make Your Mark Week encourages young people to do small acts or service projects that together make a big impact on their lives, their communities and the world. This week focuses on issues that matter most to kids - animal welfare, the environment, homelessness, hunger and literacy - and culminates on Make A Difference Day, the largest national day of service.
Here are a few examples of how you can make your mark and make a difference in your local and global communities.
