MENTOR A CHILD DURING EDUCATION WEEK JULY 27-AUG 2

SIGN UP YOUR AGENCY’S VOLUNTEER PROJECTS AT SERVE.GOV A SUMMER OF SERVICE

NIB is participating in the Obama Administration-led UNITED WE SERVE – SUMMER OF SERVICE campaign now through September 11, 2009 by promoting participation in volunteerism and public service at all of our associated agencies. NIB is specifically focused on reading programs for children, especially low-income or underprivileged children.

NIB is partnering with local groups and Reading Is Fundamental for events throughout the summer with the goal of having volunteers sustain their community involvement beyond the United We Serve campaign period.

“Our goal is to have all of our associated agencies participate in the United We Serve campaign,” Kevin Lynch, CEO, NIB said in a message to staff July 10, 2009. “We are especially interested in having people who are blind participating in the program to demonstrate how we give back to our communities.”

Most associated agencies and their employees participate in a number of volunteer or charitable activities. For the United We Serve campaign, it is important that these activities are chronicled through the United We Serve web site at http://www.serve.gov/.

Help us reach 100% participation from all associated agencies. Share your activities, pictures and experiences on our Blog site.
