BLOOMINGTON, Ill. – Six Illinois Wesleyan University students and two alumni have been selected for 25 Under 25 in McLean County, as part of Global Youth Service Day.
Global Youth Service Day is an annual campaign that celebrates and mobilizes the millions of children and youth who improve their communities each day. This year’s celebration was held last week at Illinois State University, which is one of the local sponsors of the day along with Illinois Wesleyan. Support for the program also comes from Youth Service America and State Farm Companies Foundation.
The 25 Under 25 in McLean County program honors young people who not only demonstrate service to the community, but also possess an interest in further developing leadership skills. All honorees are residents of McLean County or are currently enrolled at a school in McLean County.
