Members of the Kinston Youth Service Ambassadors sponsored by Young Women of Promise will meet with community and business leaders to discuss issues of concern to local area youth.

What is the BIG Sweep?

The BIG Sweep is Volunteer Frederick’s annual county-wide beautification and Global Youth Service Day project that raises money for participating area nonprofits. Structured like a walk-a-thon, participants collect donations from family, friends and other supporters for their chosen nonprofit. Instead of walking, however, BIG Sweep participants pick up trash from Frederick County roadsides and dump sites. The 10th Annual BIG Sweep will be held on Saturday, April 24, 2010.

Who can participate in the Big Sweep?

This year, The Greater Cincinnati Global Youth Service Day will consist of a week of service projects taking place from Saturday, April 17 - Sunday, April 25 where youth will have the opportunity to come together and serve in order to improve our community. United Way of Greater Cincinnati is partnering with Children, Inc. to engage local youth in this initiative.
