Nonprofits: Register your volunteer projects

Beginning June 22, citizens of the United States were called upon by President Obama to serve our nation. We were not asked to enlist in the armed forces, but rather to volunteer our time and efforts where they are most necessary and appreciated. The United We Serve campaign encourages people of all ages and backgrounds to participate in our nation’s recovery and renewal by serving in our communities.

Visit the Web site to explore the many opportunities available. If you need volunteers for your organization, we encourage you to log in and register your volunteer project(s).

As of today, very few nonprofits in our region had taken advantage of this. Please visit the Web site, watch Michelle Obama’s three minute video and take full advantage of this resource.
