More signs of hope. He is sounding very JFKish... WASHINGTON – People who want to give back to their communities through service will get more opportunities to do so under a bill being signed Tuesday by President Barack Obama. The $5.7 billion bill triples the size of the AmeriCorps service program over the next eight years, and expands ways for students and seniors to earn money for college through their volunteer work. It aims to foster and fulfill people's desire to make a difference, such as by mentoring children, cleaning up parks or building and weatherizing homes for the poor. Bolstering voluntary public service programs has been a priority of Obama, who credits his work as a community organizer in his early 20s for giving him direction in life. The White House said the president "will call on people across the country to serve their communities and work together to tackle the nation's tough challenges." news.yahoo.com
