Day Promotes Partnerships Between Youths and Adults
10th Annual JOIN HANDS DAY is May 1
Y E ARS
Connecting youths and adults in
neighborhood volunteering is the
unique focus of JOIN HANDS DAY, a
national day of Service scheduled for
Saturday, May 1. SPJST lodges and
youth clubs across the statě will partic-
ipate in JOIN HANDS DAY by part-
nering with local community
organizations.
Sponsored by
America’s fratemal
benefit societies,
JOIN HANDS DAY
encourages people
to form partnerships
across generations to
build greater mutual
understanding, re-
spect and trust. JOIN
HANDS DAY is an
opportunity for
youths and adults to
work side-by-side as
they tackle projects
and make life better
in communities
across America.
“Many young
people háve little in-
teraction with adults
except their teachers
and family members. And many adults
know few young people outside their
own circle of family and friends,” said
SPJST Supreme Lodge President Brian
Vaniček. “JOIN HANDS DAY is one
way to break down the barriers be-
tween the generations, while promot-
ing volunteerism and making a
difference in the community.”
To create these partnerships, an im-
portant goal of JOIN HANDS DAY is
for adult groups to invite youth organ-
STRONG
izations, and youth groups to invite
adult organizations to join them. Youth
and adult groups participate together
through the entire proces s, from the
planning stages to the actual work; and
people of all ages také on important re-
sponsibilities for the day.
SPJST and other fraternal benefit
societies throughout
the country serve as
community facilita-
tors to help connect
individuals and
groups, identify
neighborhood needs,
and assist with com-
munity connections
to civic leaders and
dignitaries.
Scheduled
annually on the first
Saturday in May,
JOIN HANDS DAY
can provide the first
step in changing
America s Fraternal communication and
cooperation in a
neighborhood. This
one-day event can
introduce volunteer-
ing to different audi-
ences of all ages and encourage
participation together.
Getting involved in JOIN HANDS
DAY is easy. The key is finding youth
or adult partners. SPJST can help.

Services Specialist Tammy Martinez at
