Welcome to the ServeNext Public Square!
This is the central location for the growing ServeNext community of National Service supporters and advocates that will join this grassroots movement to make service and volunteerism a key part of American culture.
The purpose of the ServeNext Public Square is to enable anyone from any location get involved in expanding service opportunities. Each citizen and supporter of service plays a critical role in taking action to make service a central part to American culture. The Public Square is a place where this will happen. Over time this will become an increasingly vibrant location to learn about issues effecting national service, how you can take action, and to meet other people who share the same interest in expanding service. The success of this movement depends on more people getting involved and taking action. Join today!

Jul 21, 2008 Posted by andreita23
I visited an AmeriCorps program called Public Allies, which is a program in which employees are matched with a non-profit organization. The size of the non-profit organization varies .The employees duties varies as well. They may be assign to fundrasing or field work and so on. I went to their bi-monthly training. The employees had to do oral presentations in leadership, organization in the workplace, alcohol and drug abuse in the workplace and so on. Everybody was really nice , I liked the program so much I am considering it as a valid option after I get out of school.
Visit to Public Allies
Jul 01, 2008 Posted by Kathy ObuszewskiYesterday I went to visit with Cynthia James at Public Allies in Pittsburgh. It was a great visit and really gave me a lot to think about. Especially when it comes to how ServeNext can really start to help programs like Public Allies.
Public Allies is located in Terminal Way which is just a short distance from Station Square. It was a really neat building where you can tell they took an old warehouse and converted it into offices fairly recently. But it gives a good feel about Public Allies since it’s about changing people into leaders.
