It is has been an incredible summer of service in North America for HOPE worldwide. From the top of the world in Barrow, Alaska to the earthquake torn town of Port-au-Prince, Haiti volunteers have been serving in a powerful way. The HOPE Youth Corps and Volunteer Corps programs have been fantastic, and the partnership with the United We Serve program has been meaningful for both the volunteers and the community.
One of the most powerful highlights of the summer was the ICMC/HOPE worldwide Service Day in Chicago. I personally was moved to see over 2,100 students serve in the Englewood Community. The Police reported no activities of violence for the 8 hours of service that the students were involved in.
Not only has this summer been about impacting individuals but also entire communities. I am grateful for the faith and courage of each volunteer, Chapter Director, and national staff member! We Volunteer!
