Presentation of the topic

In 2009, President Obama called on Americans to serve as volunteers in the summer service initiative called ‘United We Serve’. The purpose of the initiative was for people all over America to unite and serve as volunteers for projects meant to help the economic growth of the country. Since then, volunteerism has gained new dimensions and has become increasingly popular among Americans. Another important aspect of volunteerism is the existence of the Peace Corps, an organization whose purpose is to send trained volunteers in countries that request assistance. Volunteerism is highly regarded and represents a positive aspect for all those involved.
