Today, in a video message, President Obama unveiled United We Serve - a
sustained effort to expand the size and impact of volunteer efforts in
addressing tough challenges facing the nation. The initiative, which will
be led by the Corporation for National and Community Service, officially
kicks off on June 22, and runs for 81 days through a new National Day of
Service and Remembrance on September 11.

To make it easy to get involved, the President is urging Americans to visit
the Corporation's web site, Serve.gov, where visitors can search for local
volunteer opportunities, recruit volunteers by posting their organization's
projects, or get ideas for creating their own projects with friends,
families, and neighbors.

Need Hosts and Caretakers in ATV Campgrounds for the Oregon Dunes National
Recreation Area. Hosts check folks in and out, answer questions, pass out
literature, help with litter pick up, and clean restrooms. Caretakers in
larger campgrounds clean restrooms and showers, keep the physical property
presentable.Full hook up site+ propane and a daily reimbursement for days
worked. These are year round positions, so a minimum6 month commit is
asked.

"The truly unique inroad to nonprofit work is this middle area highlighted
by these reports: a reliance on volunteers to continue pieces of a
nonprofit's mission that would otherwise go neglected due to constrains on
staff time, size, and resources. It isn't that volunteers are replacing
paid nonprofit staff, it is more that nonprofit staff see volunteers as a
vital piece of the work they do, the projects they coordinate, and the
outreach they aspire to. Sometimes an organization has no choice but to
break up some of the responsibilities that would otherwise be covered by a
position currently iced by a hiring freeze and find talented people to help
move pieces of these projects forward".
