Volunteerism and community service are an important
part of the history of our State and Nation. New Mexicans have
always been a deeply generous people, willing to help those in need.
That was true before September 11, 2001 - and it is even truer now.
In his State of the Union address, President Bush
called upon every American to commit to at least two years of their
lives - the equivalent of 4,000 hours - to serve in their community. He
announced the creation of USA Freedom Corps in an effort to help every
American answer his call to service by strengthening and expanding
service opportunities for them to protect our homeland and support our
communities.
For more information, please visit the
USA Freedom Corps website
and find out how to answer the President's call to service. For those
who answer the President's call, an online Record of Service is
available for documenting their service to the community.
