ABOUT YMD

YOU MATTER DAY, or as we often say, “YMD” was created for and by students of Fresno County to show how much and why our community matters. The event brings together expanded learning programs, students, educators, friends, families, non-profit organizations, local businesses, and community members to celebrate the gift of service. Participants work on student-designed service projects ranging from putting together art kits for foster youth, making Campesino bags for agriculture workers, and loading food boxes for the local food pantry .

YMD 2026 will be our eighth year of this incredible event. Join us. Host a service project. Bring your students and families. Volunteer. Contribute, sponsor, or donate and be a part of this incredible day of doing good.
