Global Youth Service Day was a resounding success as millions of youth changed the world this past weekend. Lasting three days, April 24-26, thousands of events around the world celebrated and recognized the contributions young people make to their communities every day of the year. 1,950 GYSD projects were registered at www.GYSD.org<http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?et=1102566599191&s=18533&e=001dJZYyJ6g7xlKyEzn7kB0Nq2Q29Y1bYZmoxhoJG2Zg8hBtATVG9KaHckblV3xhn6N5CWmndRWuiGJ04LJV-pRGi9D-L230PMwZ08lC420F1A=>, almost twice as many projects as in 2008.

So, what's next?

You can start planning for a project to take place in September-November 2009 and apply for the next round of Disney Minnie Grants.

These grants of $500 are for children (ages 5-14) or the organizations that engage them, to implement youth-led service projects that address the issues of Poverty, Hunger, Education, Environment, Global Citizenship, Sustainable Community Development, and Disaster Prevention & Relief.  Applications are accepted from all over the world.  Projects will take place in the months of September-November 2009.
