“The WSC could be a critical factor in building a unified marketing approach, to people of all ages, encouraging all of us to participate in national service.  A wide variety of federal programs would benefit, from the Peace Corps, to state conservation corps.  Gaining a million citizens, performing community service at home and abroad, not only would improve our collective international and national policy IQ, it would help us become better ambassadors to all our neighbors.”

Dwayne,

The World Service Corps is a World Winner!

The World Service Corps idea, vision, and bill moving before Congress go to the heart of what America is all about. The WSC is a powerful non-partisan call toAmerica’s young people and those who are older who share with them the flame of youthful daring and sense of service.

The idea, the vision, and the bill bring that daring and sense of service to peoples everywhere around the world. It could not come at a better time. Indeed, it is vitally needed as never before. We want to assure peoples everywhere, including our own people in these United States, that we can and will go to work to help them, and work with them, to find solutions together to tough practical problems in their neighborhoods, their farms, their businesses, their factories, their streets, their schools, their hospitals.

The caring and working together is good for everyone, both those who serve and those who are served. The World Service Corps will stand as a beacon of hope and courage. It will go a long way to dissolve the discouragement and even apathy that grips many throughout the world. It will overcome the feeling of powerlessness and loss of life’s spirit and morale. It will channel people’s grief and anger into life productive activity. It will express and demonstrate the true strength of America for all to see and share.

The World Service Corps is an idea whose time has come.  The Peace Corps laid the groundwork by sending citizen ambassadors from the United States to perform humanitarian service throughout the developing world.  The World Service Corps expands upon this mission by providing appropriate volunteer resources to meet the human needs resulting from catastrophic events and mobilizing patriotic Americans to address the root causes of poverty and violence around the world.

Dave Dionisi, Teach Peace Foundation

“I support the World Service Corps petition. Our country and world will benefit from having one million volunteers. The additional incentives made possible by the World Service Corps are cost effective ways to encourage volunteering. We sometimes forget that the Peace Corps, started in 1961, has less than 8,000 people in the field. America can do a better job of combating terror with this large force delivering goodwill and a non-violent hand-up.”

Dwayne:

“Volunteering in the service of our nation is one of our country’s great traditions, but sadly one that is in decline.  Dwayne Hunn’s World Service Corps, which would establish a national service corps among America’s youth, is a creative proposal for re-establishing service as a national ideal.  At a time when our county is increasingly unsure of its purpose in the world, and our youth uncertain of what it means to be an American, the World Service Corps provides a thoughtful and proactive path for the future.”

Thanks for your patience!

-John

Some time ago I told you I would write a short positive statement about the World Service Corps.  Sorry for the delay – the special election really slowed things down – but here it is.  Let me know what you think, and feel free to use it with my name on your site or the like.

I have known and admired Dwayne Hunn for many years as an activist, and was an early supporter of his World Service Corps proposal. It seems clear to me a national service proposal such as this, with military service as one of the options,would provide invaluable experience to our own citizens in making them better citizens of the world, and also to help so many other countries in so many other ways. In fact, it may not only be the best way, but perhaps the only way, to help undo the damage done to our national reputation in recent years.
