National Volunteer Week - April 19-25, 2009

National Volunteer Week, April 19-25, 2009, offers opportunities to thank some of America's most valuable assets - our volunteers - and to recognize the myriad of ways they improve our communities.

National Volunteer Week reflects the power that volunteers have to "inspire by example" - volunteers both encourage those they help and motivate others to serve! This week also draws attention to the need and power of volunteerism and community service to help resolve social problems across the country.

Is your campus community participating? Get involved by participating or planning an event during the week's many offerings, including Earth Day, April 22, and Global Youth Service Day, April 24-26!
