Yesterday started generationOn's Make Your Mark Week, a week where young people focus on issues they are most passionate about by doing small acts or service projects that add up to make a big difference.

Make Your Mark Week, formerly Kids Care Week, is celebrated annually in October and strives to inspire and mobilize youth to use their energy, ingenuity and compassion to “make their mark on the world” through hands-on service.

The week culminates on Make A Difference Day, this upcoming Saturday, which is the largest national day of community service. Make A Difference Day connects people with opportunities to serve, increases the strength of communities, and promotes civic engagement.

Currentlyover 4,100 pledges have been made by youth to take action! Thank you! Help us raise that number this week and pledge to take action against issues like homelessness, animal welfare, the environment, hunger and literacy and make a positive difference in your community.

Youth are an important generation. You can help change the world. Visit generationon.org/kids/make-your-mark-week to get involved and pledge civic action.
