On April 21, 2009, My mom called me so excited. She told me that President Obama signed the Edward M. Kennedy Serve America Act. I had no idea what she was talking about. She explained it to me and couldn't be happier.
"During a time of almost unprecedented challenges it is critical that we all work together, the government alone cannot fix everything. Working together in a sustained, collaborative effort, we can harness our greatest resource, our people, and change the course of history.
This website is a new portal for you and all Americans to find your own ways to serve in your own communities.
