Rockefeller Foundation Gives $2 Million to Help Cities Promote Volunteerism

-- Developing a comprehensive service plan and a coordinated strategy
focused on matching volunteers and established community partners to
the areas of greatest local need;
-- Working with other mayors and elected officials to advance strategies
and best practices that accelerate the service movement and produce
measurable results;
-- Encouraging other mayors to join this national effort to engage our
citizens; and
-- Ensuring that the voice of cities is heard in federal legislative,
policy, and program discussions related to service, which will help
the country achieve the ambitious goals of the Serve America Act.
