成人快播

While the notion of 鈥渕aking the world a better place鈥� is not a new one, millennials have embraced a greater commitment to service than ever before鈥攕urpassing their parents and grandparents in volunteering. 听reports, 鈥�Young adults who grew up in the shadow of the 9/11 attacks and saw the wreckage of Hurricane Katrina are volunteering at home and abroad in record numbers.鈥�

For young people like Stephanie Entizne, a second year AmeriCorps member with 成人快播, the passion for 鈥渟erving鈥� was embedded early in life. Growing up, Stephanie learned the importance of contributing to her community and felt a sense of pride in the small community where she grew up.

We are a nation built on coming together in time of need, and from a joint effort we are able to make something extraordinary, something dynamic, and something beautiful, says Stephanie.

National service hits the scene

National service-based programs like 听have blossomed right along side millennials, giving way to some forward thinking nonprofit organizations like , , and 成人快播. Now, 20-somethings have new opportunities to explore a year or more of service after college and before entering a long-term career path. 听

Peihan Valentina Ko, another second-year AmeriCorps member serving with 成人快播, always had dreams of 鈥渃hanging the world.鈥� As a first-generation immigrant to the US, Peihan is passionate about helping other migrant families like hers, she says, 鈥淚 know what it feels like to feel displaced in a new environment that is culturally different. As I navigated through these difficulties, I felt that it was integral for me to give back and help families and the community that are in a situation that I was just in not too long ago.鈥�

National days of service inspire action

Young adults like Peihan and Stephanie experience service and volunteerism in more ways than one. While some commit to one or more years of intensive volunteer service, others experience volunteerism through spending one hour a week tutoring a student, or volunteering several times a year for community service events. Service days like 听have become outlets for empowering youth to take action and serve their communities.

For Peihan, 9/11 day of service offers a chance to connect directly with her community outside of her regular service hours. And it鈥檚 also fun! She describes 9/11 day of service as 鈥渁n opportunity for fun, appreciation, reflection, and consideration.鈥�

She says, 鈥淚t is important to enjoy serving while also understanding the underlining theme of dedicating service to the strong men and women on September 11, 2001 and how we came together as a nation.鈥�

This year, 成人快播 Silicon Valley has partnered with the Sunnyvale Fire Department for 9/11 day of service. Peihan and Stephanie are excited about joining her fellow 成人快播 team members in recognizing their local firefighters.

As millennials position themselves as the leading generation of volunteers, one can only hope this passionate group of individuals will continue to spread the tradition of service to future generations.
