Today, as we celebrate Earth Day and prepare for this weekend’s Global Youth Service Day, we recognize the remarkable leadership of young people across the country who are giving their time, energy, and expertise to work toward a better planet.

Here is the White House proclamation on Earth Day.

EARTHDAY.ORG’s mission is to diversify, educate and activate the environmental movement worldwide. Growing out of the first Earth Day in 1970, EARTHDAY.ORG is the world’s largest recruiter to the environmental movement, working with more than 75,000 partners in over 192 countries to drive positive action for our planet.

Global Youth Service Day is the largest youth service and civic action event in the world and the only one that celebrates all youth ages 5-25. On April 23-25, the call is for everyone to engage all young people and adult champions to serve, advocate, join, celebrate, or build capacity.
