CELEBRATE PEOPLE CHANGING THE WORLD THROUGH SERVICE
Millions of people give their time, talent and energy to help strengthen communities around the world. Our volunteers range from children to older adults, to businesses and community organizations, and all share in common the act of choosing to make a difference. It is through their stories that people are inspired to serve and begin to recognize their personal power to transform themselves and the world around them.
THE EXTRA MILE
This new national monument in the heart of Washington, D.C. is a testament to the tradition, spirit and culture of service in America. From founders of major service organizations to civil rights leaders, the monument tells the story of people who have championed causes to help others realize a better America. Comprised of a series of bronze medallions, it will form a one-mile walking path just blocks from the White House when completed.
