    Take Action on the GIVE Act



    Our country’s going through crazy hard times right now. Because of that, you’ve heard from us about how the government is taking action: to fix the economy, create jobs, and invest in renewable energy, higher education, and health care. But, there’s still work to be done if we’re going to get out of this mess. And we’ve got to pitch in.

    Millions of young people are already investing in their communities, from volunteering in soup kitchens to tutoring kids in local schools. And this week, the President and Congress are taking action to make it easier for those of you interested in giving back and to bring millions more into the volunteerism fold.

    Tomorrow, Congress will vote on the GIVE Act, the boldest service legislation in 70 years. Can you contact your member of Congress and urge him or her to vote for the bill?

    What’s in the bill? The plan will expand national and community service opportunities nationwide and help young people pay for school and get training for future jobs. The GIVE Act will:

    • Expand AmeriCorps from 75,000 to 250,000 annual slots;
    • Establish a Summer of Service program that enables middle and high school students to participate in volunteer activities and earn a $500 education award for college;
    • Establish four new service corps to address key needs in low income communities, including a Clean Energy Corp to encourage energy effeciency and conservation measures, an Education Corp to help increase student engagement, achievement, and graduation rates, a Heathly Futures Corp to improve health care access, and a Veterans Service Corp to enhance services for veterans.
    • Create more service and service-learning for students, new opportunities for older Americans to serve, and more.

    Want to know all the details? Check out the bill and then call your Representative to express your support.

    Rock the Vote
    Bio: Rock the Vote was founded in 1990 to organize artists and fight against censorship of musicians. Since then we've evolved to focus on empowering young people to get involved in the political process. We use pop culture, peer-to-peer organizing, and the latest technology to raise visibility of politics and demystify the process of registering to vote.

      I’m on it! I am all about the Summer of Service program. It would be a really good incentive for the youth to be scholarly.

      im glad people are starting to help each other out. finally.. it just sucks that its got to take an economic crisis for people to help out each other.. what about the intercity ghettos? why was nobody helping out over there?

    3. Jerry66 says:

      Hell No! Forced Volunteerism? Are you crazy? This is a program to indoctrinate all of the youth into government systems. It starts with soup kitchens and cleaning parks, then it turns to tattle-tale squads, forced service abroad and forced vaccinations. You need to WAKE UP. Google Hitler Mao Stalin Youth Brigades.

    4. Travis says:

      THANK YOU JERRY 66. These morons keep getting the wool pulled over their stupid eyes. Yes, volunteering is great for the community. Forced serveice is not. you CANNOT give the government this kind of power over your rights. Read the 13th ammendment you liberal twits. AND go read the ENTIRE bill. not just the few things that the idiots that run this site are spewing. Hey heres a link. http://www.rules.house.gov/111/LegText/111_hr1388_txt.pdf. I’m 28 and cannot stand these young twenty somethings that just accept every little seemingly “good” thing that the government wants to do. That is how Hussein Obama got elected. He bought and sold your minds because you people want to always do what feels good. Well, news flash sometimes doing whats right is hard and is not something that is easily given into. Sheesh dumbass liberals.

      Achtung, the storm-troopers are being drilled at an early age.
      Read the bill. They have to serve for up to 7 years!
      After that , we have perfect little soldiers, trained to turn in their parents and snitch on anyone who is not in support of our fed government. Congratulations, congress just took all our children away from us. The future of communist America looks bright….

      I absolutely love to teach my children the value of volunteering! But the govt. needs to stay the hell out of my HOME!!!! That is my job!!! Also for those lazy ass youths out there!!! I TOOK the incentive to volunteer when I WAS YOUNG AND STILL DO IT TODAY!!! I can go on and on about the contributions I make to society, and I never needed big daddy govt. to teach it to me!!!! This is absolutely disgusting!!!! I wish my grandfather was here today, to tell you about the “youth camps” he was forced to work in when he was young during the depression!!!! He hated it and left him angry the rest of his life!!!!!
