                        GLOBAL YOUTH SERVICE DAY

  (Mr. PAYNE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. PAYNE. Mr. Speaker, last weekend was the 30th anniversary of 
Global Youth Service Day. I spent Saturday morning at the Community 
FoodBank of New Jersey to meet with around 50 young people who had 
volunteered their day to serve others.
  Of course, young people have always been great leaders, but with 
social media and other technologies connecting people like never 
before, the power of diverse young minds coming together has taken on a 
new dimension.
  Young people are comparing notes across the country and around the 
world, and they are doing something to change the course of history. 
Young people are leading marches, they are running for office, and they 
are putting their minds and bodies to the service of others.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in honoring the Community 
FoodBank of New Jersey and the young people across this country who 
participated in the 2018 Global Youth Service Day.
