:
Young
People
Serving
our
Country
one
Community
at
a
Time
For
as
long
as
I
can
remember
entrenched
politicians
have
been
telling
the
youth
of
America
the
best
thing
you
can
do
is
serve
your
country.
The
problem
is
the
service
that
they
are
speaking
of
usually
involves
picking
up
a
gun
and
traveling
to
a
distant
land
with
out
an
invitation.
Well
finally
there
is
a
group
that
is
revolutionizing
the
meaning
of
national
service.
City
Year
trains
17-24
year
olds
to
work
in
17
cities
across
the
country
volunteering
in
schools
and
community
centers.
