>> How will you spend your service year?
>> 
>> A service year is a paid, full-time position for young Americans looking to improve people’s lives and make a lasting impact in communities across the country. From fighting poverty to working with kids to responding to natural disasters — a service year is a meaningful and fulfilling way to tackle the most pressing challenges facing our nation.
>> 
>> By serving a year, you can live in a new city, meet new people, learn new skills, and gain valuable leadership and professional experience — all while receiving a stipend and often a scholarship to help pay for college or student loans. Plus, this experience will help you stand out when applying to college and future jobs.
>> 
>> When you serve a year, you’ll be joining a nationwide community of corps members and alums who are committed to making a difference. No matter where you are in your education or career, a service year is an incredible opportunity that will let you be a part of shaping your future and your community for years to come.

> The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the
> characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the
> expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles
> between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want;
> blindness is not what holds you back.
>  “We need your service, right now, at this moment - our moment - in history. I'm not going to tell you what your role should be; that's for you to discover. But I am going to ask you to play your part; ask you to stand up; ask you to put your foot firmly into the current of history” — Barack Obama
