Happy Saturday!
Today is Join Hands Day
#JoinHandsDay
Join Hands Day is a day of community service that specifically targets and develops relationships between young people and adults through neighborhood volunteering. Youth and adults work together on an equal basis to plan, organize and implement the day’s activities. Join Hands Day is always held on the first Saturday in May, making planning each year easy. (Here is some help.)
So what say you? Are you playing?
Every day we look for the best in Positive News so that you might have a great start on your day. Thank you for taking the time to read, share and support our mission.
