Obama wants more National Service

by Nial Maloney

Obama has tripled the size of Americorps programs and called upon Americans to volunteer their time to improve their communities. Which, in my opinion, is a good thing. Obama believes that the world needs our service right now! Everybody needs to volunteer because it teaches them valuable skills and it feels great to be helping out the country. In my opinion, Americorp will help people find jobs and many unemployed people can get jobs through Americorp.

After the ceremony at the Seed School with Edward M. Kennedy, Caroline Kennedy, and Bill Clinton, Mr Obama and Mr Clinton traveled to a muddy marsh to plant trees for the community. The plan emulates John F. Kennedy's plan to call for national service.
