"The broadest, and maybe the most meaningful definition of volunteering: Doing more than you have to because you want to, in a cause you consider good." -Ivan Scheier

AmeriCorps & National Service

Utah is in the top 10 once again!

Each year, 75,000 AmeriCorps members come from all corners of our country to put the "national" in national service and Get Things Done. When it comes to enrolling in AmeriCorps, Utah residents rank fourth among states. Provo ranks 7th among cities of its size, with Salt Lake City ranked 10th. >Learn more

September 11th is Patriot Day and a National Day of Service and Remembrance . On this day Americans across the country are called to volunteer in their local communities in tribute to the individuals lost and injured in the attacks, first responders, and the many who have risen in service to defend freedom. >Find a Volunteer Opportunity!
