<br />In 1988, Youth Service America - YSA ... and the Camous Outreach
<br />Opportunity League - COOL - organized the first National Youth
<br />Service Day, then called "A Day in the Life of Youth Service."
<br />Nearly 1,000 programs in all 50 states and the District of
<br />Columbia participated. In 1990, YSA joined forces with COOL, the
<br />United States Conference of Mayors, the Weekly Reader, and the
<br />Jefferson Awards to celebrate the day. More than 1,500 programs,
<br />a bipartisan group of 331 mayors, and 13 governors planned
<br />special service activities, recognition and awards ceremonies, as
<br />well as City-wide youth forums. Since then, NYSD has grown to
<br />include over 38 National Partners and millions of young people
<br />nationwide.
