PAGE 2 GUEST EXPERT: Steve Culbertson, President and Chief Executive Officer of Youth Service America, an international nonprofit organization that partners with thousands of organizations committed to increasing the quality and the quantity of volunteer opportunities for young people to serve locally, nationally, and globally. For two years in a row, the Nonprofit Times named him to its list of "The 50 most powerful and influential leaders" in the sector, saying, "Culbertson has helped to position volunteering and young people as an issue and a national priority." Founded in 1986, Youth Service America’s mission is to improve communities by increasing the number and the diversity of children and youth, ages 5-25, serving in substantive roles. With half the world's population under 25 yaers old, YSA envisions a global culture of engaged youth committed to a lifetime of service, learning, leadership, and achievement. The impact of YSA’s work is measured in student achievement, workplace readiness, and healthy communities. With the support of the State Farm Companies Foundation, Youth Service America organizes Global Youth Service Day (http://www.GYSD.org/) , a public education campaign to highlight the amazing contributions that young people make to their communities 365 days of the year. As the largest service event in the world and YSA's signature program, "GYSD" draws together a remarkable consortium of local, regional, national, and international partners. Mr. Culbertson internationalized the program in 2000, which Youth Service America now coordinates in more than 100 countries on six continents.
