On his first day in office, Patrick Corvington, the new CEO of the Corporation for National and Community Service, speaks about his background in the nonprofit sector and the unprecedented opportunity to address the nation’s challenges by expanding service and volunteering in the United States.

See the YouTube video.

The experience of interacting with some of the [homeless] people on the streets was an eye-opener. You leave those types of experiences with a mix of emotions--hope, disgust, love, grief--but I always leave motivated to do more."
