Global Youth Service Day Results

Volunteers braved cold, windy weather in the Cedar Valley to participate in Global Youth Service Day, April 14. Sponsored by the Volunteer Center of Cedar Valley and Black Hawk County Extension, the Global Youth Service Day project, “The Great Sweep”, involved a spring cleaning of Lincoln Park and some of the streets in downtown Waterloo. Approximately thirty five volunteers produced an amazing number of garbage bags of litter and left downtown Waterloo looking much better. Volunteers came from a variety of organizations and agencies. They included a wonderful group from ConAgra Foods, members of the Boy and Girls Clubs, Boys Scouts, Girl Scouts, and other individual volunteers.

Global Youth Service Day is an annual campaign that celebrates and mobilizes millions of youth to improve their communities. It is celebrated in over 100 countries.

The Volunteer Center of Cedar Valley thanks all who participated.
