Major League Baseball Supports United We Serve; NIB Reading Program Set for Education Week July 27-Aug 2, 2009.
The United We Serve – Summer of Service program was a prime time hit during the Major League Baseball All-Star game this week. A six minute film on volunteerism featured at President Obama and five former Presidents: Bush, Clinton, Bush and Carter to highlight the importance of community service and ask all Americans to find a volunteer opportunity at Serve.gov.
Nearly a dozen NIB are actively participating in the United We Serve program and NIB is encouraging 100 percent participation from its associated agencies. You can register your agency or yourself as a volunteer at www.serve.gov. Download easy to follow directions on how to log on and register your volunteer effort under NIB at serve.gov.
Education Week is July 27-August 2. NIB is providing readers for children age 5 to 12 at a local recreation center that provides summer programs for 140 mostly low-income and homeless children.
