Tips for Volunteering "America is a land of majestic beauty, and Americans can be proud of the remarkable progress we have
made in protecting our environment and natural resources... Through volunteer service programs... we continue to preserve our natural heritage for future
generations and make our communities more vibrant places to visit and live". "Americans have responded with an outpouring of acts of kindness and volunteer service that is
transforming our Nation, one heart and one soul at a time".
President George W. Bush
