A nationwide service initiative to help meet the growing social needs resulting from the struggling economic climate. The initiative aims to both expand the impact of existing organizations by engaging new volunteers in their work and encourage volunteers to develop their own “do-it-yourself” projects.
Serve.gov offers an online resource for finding volunteer opportunities in your community, nationwide, and also gives individuals a chance to create their own community service projects.
Create your own service project: The website offers toolkits for creating your own project in the areas of Education, Health, Community Renewal, Energy and Environment, and Safety and Security.
