Summer Volunteering Initiative
Serve.gov is your online resource for not only finding volunteer opportunities in your community, but also creating your own. Use Serve.gov to help you do your part. America's foundation will be built one community at a time - and it starts with you.
"United We Serve" is a nationwide service initiative that will help meet growing social needs resulting from the economic downturn. With the knowledge that ordinary people can achieve extraordinary things when given the proper tools, President Obama is asking us to come together to help lay a new foundation for growth. This initiative aims to both expand the impact of existing organizations by engaging new volunteers in their work and encourage volunteers to develop their own "do-it-yourself" projects. United We Serve is an initial 81 days of service but will grow into a sustained, collaborative and focused effort to promote service as a way of life for all Americans.
On June 22, 2009, First Lady Michelle Obama officially kicked off United We Serve. The initiative is led by the Corporation for National and Community Service, the federal agency dedicated to fostering service in communities across the country.

in reply to OhMe yeah, people had such a warped perspective over the recent past - kind of the army of 1 mentality. but i think things are turning around now. it seems as if people are really beginning to understand that we're all in this together.

Super lens. I am pretty much a full time volunteer, it seems and was so glad to see this lens. Our group of volunteers working to make our park the best it can be consists mainly of grandparents or people with no children and we are really having a difficult time getting young folks involved. It is their children who are reaping the benefits and although we don't regret the time we spend, it would be nice to have some young blood.
