Serve America Act


Today, the President signed the Serve America Act.

I have a lot of positive thoughts on this, but I'm not sure how to say them. Maybe I will act and serve about it. I don't know. I probably won't, since I spent a great majority of this last decade volunteering. This is why I'm a fan of the Serve America Act!


Basically - AmeriCorps will be tripled, new "Corps" will be created for areas of national need, a "Volunteer Generation Fund" is established to help nonprofits manage more volunteers, plus other provisions.
