Service Says is a new opportunity to tell the world what service means to you.
What does service say to you?
Does Service Say “greening your school?”
Does Service Say “community?”
Tell YSA how you would finish this phrase by expressing yourself however you want.
On Twitter, post #ServiceSays in 140 characters or less. For example, “Service Says that with service-learning, my students will be more prepared for the workforce. #servicesays”
On Facebook, go to Youth Service America’s fan page and post a comment beginning with, “Service Says…” For example, “Service Says that I have an opportunity to share my voice and be heard, even though I’m 12.”
On Flickr, upload your illustrations and original photos demonstrating what Service Says to you. Add your photos to the Global Youth Service Day group at www.flickr.com/groups/ngysd2006/ and tag your photo “servicesays.” You can upload photos of you and your friends sweeping a neighbor’s front yard, or an illustration that represents how service makes you feel.
On YouTube, feel free to use your webcam and upload a video telling the world what Service Says to you. It can be as simple as speaking directly into your webcam or as complex as submitting an edited video. Tag your video with “servicesays.” (For complete instructions on how to upload a video and add it to YSA’s group, visit http://gysd.org/share/youtube.)
Who do we want to hear from? Everybody! Youth, parents, teachers, community leaders, corporate employees, and elected officials.
Why do we want to hear from you? Because we understand that making our communities better is important to you and YSA wants to help you spread that message.
YSA will compile the responses. You might see your comments, photos, or videos featured on the YSA.org or in a publics service announcement.
