志愿服务，从东海岸到西海岸
分享另类春假的新方式：推特
For the past four years, 但是今天 has been proud to join 波士顿大学的另类春假 (ASB) program. 与忠诚的大学生一起，我们帮助修复了佛罗里达州彭萨科拉市被飓风摧毁的房屋。在密西西比州比洛克西（Biloxi），封闭了肯塔基州克朗克斯（Cranks）的一个教堂浴室。我们已经旅行了5662多英里，穿越山脉和草原，穿过城市和小镇，志愿提供了超过672小时的社区服务。 And each year, we’ve come home and 分享我们的经验.
Next week, 但是今天 reporters once again take to the road. In Springfield, Mo., we’ll join volunteers at 奥扎克的冠军运动员, a nonprofit that teaches sports and life skills to people with disabilities. In New York City, we’ll work with the 男同性恋的健康危机, the country’s oldest and largest AIDS service organization. Other volunteers are headed to San Francisco to empower girls at 女孩,Inc。, flying to Puerto Rico to work on housing and HIV/AIDS awareness at Iniciativa Comunitaria, and restoring caves in 马洞，肯塔基州.
今年，我们希望尽可能多地听取400多名在灾区和困难社区工作的志愿者的意见。
