Bon Jovi and United We Serve
Check out this video with Bon Jovi – I loved it!! I heard Bon Jovi speak a couple years ago at the National Conference on Volunteering and Service and he did a great job talking about giving back and honoring those people who do so. I have worked as a trainer and consultant through JBS International’s Aguirre Division with the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS) and the National Service programs it funds – AmeriCorps, VISTA, Senior Corps, and Learn and Serve America – for 15 years. Much of my work has involved training programs how to evaluate their services to identify clearly the impact they are making so they are able to tweak their program models as well as demonstrate to their communities the value they offer. I have been so inspired by the dedication, commitment, and true impact these National Service programs are making and the ways they have helped strengthen nonprofit capacity and service delivery. I am a BIG fan!
National Service programs go through extensive vetting…so when you support one of them, you know your resources are going to be well used. They are a great investment in making a difference. To find out what National Service programs are in your area, go to the CNCS website or Serve.gov.
