UNITED WE SERVE is a national service movement, from June 22 to September 11, founded upon the ideal that ordinary people can achieve extraordinary things when given the proper tools. President Obama is asking you to participate in the United We Serve movement and make an initial service commitment to your community by addressing the needs in education, health, energy, the environment, safety and security.
Although the program lasts only 81 days, it is intended to set the country in motion toward a renewal of our commitment to service. United We Serve will lay the foundation for a sustained, collaborative, and focused movement to promote service as a way of life for all Americans and help meet growing social needs resulting from the economic downturn.
United We Serve has designated the following themes that target priority issue areas.
July 20: Community Renewal
July 27: Education
Aug 03: Energy & Environment
Aug 10: Health
Aug 24: Safety & Security
Aug 31: Interfaith Service
