"We are the ones we've been waiting for." Alice Walker
This quote seemed particularly appropriate after an exciting month where no less than the President called us all to serve. I was especially encouraged that he asked Americans to consider making a long-term commitment to an organization or cause. He understands that some projects can be completed in a day - and that healing lives as a mentor or coach or leader needs relationships and service that endure.
So now what?
For those who haven't served yet - start today. VSD's Flex Projects are the perfect place to begin.
For those already serving on a short-term basis, consider the impact you could make with a longer-term commitment.
For those hardy souls already in for the long haul, talk to your favorite organization about their most critical needs and explore how you can be a partner in meeting them.
Our waiting is over. I can't wait to see what we do as a community.
