This summer, President Obama is calling on all of us — young and old, from every background, all across this country - to participate in our nation's recovery and renewal by serving in our communities. From June 22 to September 11, United We Serve will begin to engage Americans from coast to coast in addressing community needs in education, health, energy and the environment, and community renewal. L.A. Works is a proud partner in this national service movement and we are honored to continue our 19 years of service to the community of Los Angeles.
