Friends of National Service and Volunteering, Late this spring, the White House Rural Council announced “Rural Impact,” an effort to help address the challenge of rural child poverty by bringing together federal agencies and public and private resources.  As part of this initiative, we launched Serve Rural, a national effort to enlist volunteers and local organizations to help build thriving rural communities.   In early July, we will send thousands of Americans to Serve.gov to search for volunteer opportunities in rural communities—and we want your organization or organizations near you to be represented. We need your help to generate as many opportunities as possible in advance of this big push for volunteers serving in rural communities.  Join us by registering your volunteer opportunities and tagging them as “Serve Rural” on Serve.gov no later than June 30. If you don’t have a project to register but know an organization near you that does, please tell them to register on Serve.gov. That way, all rural volunteer opportunities will be in one searchable database. Projects posted on Serve.gov are distributed to sites across the web through AllforGood, making it more likely that your projects are seen by thousands of volunteers. Click here for instructions on how to register your volunteer projects on AllforGood. Don’t forget to tag your volunteer projects by using “Serve Rural” in the title or description.  We will tell prospective volunteers to search using that term.
