the day projects

The Day Projects educate children and youth on the benefits volunteer initiatives have on our society.  In collaboration with youth serving organizations we organize youth in internationally recognized Day Campaigns like Global Youth Service Day, Literacy Awareness Day, International Day for the Eradication of Poverty, The Day of the Volunteer,  Stand Up for MDGs, International Day of Peace, World Aids Day and more. 

 

Children and youth participate in day projects educating them on the value and impact volunteering has on an individual and its community.

SASEF facilitated Brazil's first Stand Up for the Millennium Development Goals Celebration 2006 entitled "Nos Podemos" with 5,000 children and youth in attendance.  

 

This Day Project graduated into Education for Employment and continued for years.  Students learned "how to" fundraise, author grants and received money to build an outdoor playground and cemented soccer field.  One of the most successful non violence programs was created to end "playground violence".

 

This project won UNESCO recognition for our work in "raising the level of social consciousness" in children and youth.

Since 2001, SASEF has facilitated Global Youth Service Day projects throughout the world. 

 

Global Youth Service Day is an annual campaign that celebrates and mobilizes the millions of children and youth who improve their communities each day of the year through service and service learning. Established in 1988, Global Youth Service Day is the largest service event in the world, and the only day of service dedicated to children and youth. GYSD is celebrated each year in over 100 countries.

 

Each year, millions of children and youth around the world work together with schools, youth organizations, nonprofits, community and faith-based organizations, volunteer and national service programs, government agencies, faith communities, and other individuals to address the world’s most critical issues and change their communities on Global Youth Service Day.
