Youth Day is about bringing together young people from all over the Lower East Side
to showcase their talents, network with their peers, and to distribute
valuable resources and information on health, education and Grand
Street Settlement's youth programs. The Day is primarily organized by
Grand Street Settlement's own young people. Tweens and Teen facilitate
much of the fundraising by holding bake sales and going door-to-door to
businesses in the neighborhood asking for cash or in-kind donations.
