CulinaryCorps was born in the Bush administration when a call for national service was at best a weak whisper. We are incredibly pleased to read about the new administration’s support of organized volunteer opportunities for the country; the highlights of which are underscored in this recent Economist article.
Incredibly, our volunteer application was downloaded more than 130 times for our upcoming April trip and we received a record number of completed applications. We can only believe that with Obama’s continued philosophical and monetary support of volunteer service, this trend will happily continue.
