<p>From their <a href="http://bethechangeinc.org/servicenation" target="_blank">website</a>, &#8220;This campaign now focuses on building a national grassroots movement aimed at inspiring widespread public support for increasing voluntary community and national service opportunities, solving problems with proven service strategies, and elevating service as a core ideal of civic engagement. ServiceNation encourages all Americans to step forward and take the lead in bridging our divides, strengthening our communities, and building a more vibrant democracy.&#8221;</p>
<p>Especially given the economic times in which we find ourselves, ServiceNation is a movement which deserves our support.  <a href="http://bethechangeinc.org/servicenation" target="_blank">Check them out </a>and join me in signing their Declaration of Service. </p>
<p>You can also find ways to volunteer through their partnership with <a href="http://www.networkforgood.org/" target="_blank">Network for Good</a> and USA Freddom Corps, as well.  Within 20 miles of my office, there were 1820 opportunities &#8211; so surely there is something for everyone that wants to get more involved.</p>
