NATIONAL SERVICE – In a video message released on Wednesday, President Obama unveiled United We Serve – a sustained effort to expand the size and impact of volunteer efforts in addressing tough challenges facing the nation.

The initiative, which will be led by the Corporation for National and Community Service, officially kicks off on June 22, during the National Conference on Volunteering and Service, and runs for 81 days through a new National Day of Service and Remembrance on September 11.

To make it easy to get involved, the President is urging Americans to visit the Corporation’s web site, http://www.Serve.gov – where visitors can search for local volunteer opportunities, recruit volunteers by posting their organization’s projects, or get ideas for creating their own projects with friends, families, and neighbors.
