I think that Global Youth Service Day will be great! and i'm very excited to see what everyone decides to do, and to share what i'm doing!
Hey all!So my school is sending 14 students to the Dominican Republic over spring break. We are raising money around the school to buy building and schooling supplies so that when the students go they can help build schools and provide the kids with…

Profile Information
- How did you celebrate Global Youth Service Day?
- I'm not going to lie, i don't think i did anything. I regret this, but you cant change the past. however this year there are many plans that i want to try to do.
- If you were the mayor, what changes would you make in your community?
- I actually think that our mayor is doing a good job, however if i were to be mayor i think i would change the price of some of the city transit. this would allow more people to take it then reducing carbon emissions. also i would make sure that events are created for sick people in hospitals so they can have a good time, just for a little while :)
- What are the 7 Things or problems in the world you want to help solve?
- there are many problems i would like to help solve. One of the major ones is donating to cancers and other medical diseases for research, and also isit kids that are sick, or at least donate to pediatrics. Second, poverty, i realize globally that there are many countries with people who are less fortunate. Third, is peace. I know its not possible to solve all the problems, but i would like to try and solve some of them at least. fourth, which is less global and more of a community job, but trash cleanup. I think every community deserves to have a few residents willing to help. fifth, pollution/carbon emissions. it is a major problem and everything can help from turning off the lights to recycling. Something as small as turning off the lights when you leave a room could make a huge difference. Sixth is cyber bullying/bullying/abuse. it is a major problem in some third world countries. i don't like it, but i would like to help stop it. And the seventh thing i want to do is help out senior citizens and those people who need some extrahelp.
- Short "About Me" section
- I think that when Miley Cyrus set up this campaign it was a really great idea for kids just like me to get involved. I may not be the most actively involved person, but i do try very hard. Recently for school, i took a round square trip to India. while we were there we learned all about the enviroment, quality of life, poverty, and the minimal resources they had available. if i could go again i would in an instant. i am kind of recently interested in volunteering and there is a lot i want to do.

Global Youth Service Day
My project for GYSD isn't huge but i think that it will help people. my idea is to raise money for 3 charities, one local, one regional (in the continent) and one global. The charities i am going to give money to are:

Wheelchair Accesibility in Schools
Hey all!
So my school isn't wheelchair accessible. There is a group of six of us who belong to a Leadership directorate at school and we are trying to fix this. We are thinking about different ways to achieve our goal. We are going to hold a fundraiser and talk to the safety manager at our school about raising money and how much we can actually do. We are trying to find something that is not a huge project so we can get it installed as soon as possible. We are doing research into possibiliti

Helping Out
Hey all!
So my school is sending 14 students to the Dominican Republic over spring break. We are raising money around the school to buy building and schooling supplies so that when the students go they can help build schools and provide the kids with a better education. I donated some money today.
The point of this was to say that every little thing helps, i know that it may not seem like its helping but it is.
anywho,
ciao! Katie
