More than 20 various GYSD projects will take place in Russia! What especially inspires Russian GYSD participants is the letter from the Ambassador of the United States of America to the Russian Federation Michael A. McFaul, who supports GYSD and volunteering in general! Here are some words from the Ambassador:

Volunteering is such an important part of making our world a better place, and no one has more energy, enthusiasm, and spirit than youth. I applaud your efforts to improve the communities in which you live, by lending your time and energy to address such issues as health, education, ecology, and people in need. Every year, a greater number of Russians are volunteering their time in schools, parks, hospitals, and orphanages. [...] Your participation in these activities will inspire other people to do the same.
 
You can read the complete letter from the Ambassador to get inspired by the great words of reognition and appreciaton of community service and become a part of Global Youth Service Day!
