People Making a Stand Against our Economy - Wall Street Journal

Apr 07, 2009 Posted by VickyL

After an hour or so of reading through the Wall Street Journal today, I came to a conclusion. American citizens are finally beginning to make a stand against this economy. People are beginning to stand up and go after better jobs, demand more money and do whatever it takes to provide for their family.

Gone are the times we spent dreading waking up in the morning, fearing whether we would have a job the next day and hoping everything would blow over. If our economic crisis is going to improve, we are going to have to change it! Even the real estate industry seems to be rebounding, in fact one report had shown that more and more people are now obtaining their real estate license.

Real Estate Crisis, Corporate Bailouts, Auto Makers, What Next?

Jan 27, 2009 Posted by VickyL

During an economic hardship, we place our focus on the rich and powerful rather than looking at what is really important, the people. There are thousands of licensed real estate agents without work, thousands of mechanics, accountants, secretaries and small business owners that need help, but we look towards corporate America with sad puppy dog eyes, does this make sense to you?

Thank You Interns

Aug 25, 2008 Posted by Matt Hendren

Today is ServeNext’s first day without interns. We have been fortunate to work with 19 very talented students for the last ten weeks. They attend colleges and graduate schools across the country and were excited to learn more AmeriCorps, national service and ServeNext and to contribute to the movement.

My Visit To Public Allies

Jul 21, 2008 Posted by andreita23

I visited an AmeriCorps program called Public Allies, which is a program in which employees are matched with a non-profit organization. The size of the non-profit organization varies .The employees duties varies as well. They may be assign to fundrasing or field work and so on. I went to their bi-monthly training. The employees had to do oral presentations in leadership, organization in the workplace, alcohol and drug abuse in the workplace and so on. Everybody was really nice , I liked the program so much I am considering it as a valid option after I get out of school.
