Entry bubble United We Serve

By: Jess | June 25, 2009 | Category: General

Earlier this week, President Obama announced United We Serve, a summer campaign encouraging citizens across the country to reach out and volunteer in their communities. The campaign runs from now until September 11 with the idea that it takes more than government officials to help solve the problems the country is facing.

In his video message, the President says the country needs volunteers in schools as mentors and tutors, in hospitals to help keep people healthy, and in many other places that officials in Washington D.C. can't be.

There are plenty of opportunities for you to give some of your time if you're interested.  

Serve.gov is the new Web site that was launched as part of this effort. You can find information on all kinds of service projects in your community. And if you're working on a project and looking for volunteers, you can register it and promote it on the site to help attract volunteers.

Even if you can only give one hour each week, someone else's life will be touched. Feel free to share in the comments any volunteer projects you will be working on this summer.

And don't forget to submit your Independence Day photos on the USA.gov / GobiernoUSA.gov Flickr Group.

It's an excellent initiative--Change at the grass root level can only be achieved by everyone stepping in to make a difference somewhere. God bless!

I fully support Obama in his mission. I am of the view that yes we should all stand still with the president in this phase of rebuilding the nation. It is the need of the time that all the nation should stand united behind Mr. Obama to serve the nation.

Best of Luck President. I am with you.
