President Biden calls upon Americans to unite through national service and volunteerism during the United We Stand Summit to counter the corrosive effects of hate-fueled violence on our democracy and public safety and put forward a shared vision for a more united America.

Through national service and volunteerism, Americans are afforded new ways to engage with their communities and foster a sense of constructive action, civic participation, and belonging. Sign up to learn about new opportunities to serve and opportunities to become an AmeriCorps partner.
