United We Serve
This summer, President Obama is asking all Americans to serve their country as part of the "United We Serve" campaign. The "United We Serve" campaign is one of the key on-going initiatives from the White House designed to make it easy to get involved, to build communities, and move the nation forward.
The website www.serve.gov provides opportunity for citizens to easily get involved in their individual communities nationwide, as part of this historic summer of service.
“We need your service, right now, at this moment in history. I’m not going to tell you what your role should be; that’s for you to discover. But I am asking you to stand up and play your part. I am asking you to help change history’s course.”
-President Obama, 4/21/2009
