President Obama is calling on federal agencies to use volunteers to accomplish their tasks as part of a larger effort to boost community service throughout the country.
The White House issued an executive order Friday -- Expanding National Service through Partnerships to Advance Government Priorities -- to establish a task force charged with improving national service and volunteering. The initiative seeks to align the American peoples commitment to service with the missions of federal agencies.
Creating these partnerships will utilize the American spirit of service to improve lives and communities, expand economic and educational opportunities, enhance agencies' capacity to achieve their missions, efficiently use tax dollars [and] help individuals develop skills that will enable them to prepare for long-term careers.
Representatives from all Cabinet-level agencies, as well as various other federal entities, will coordinate with the Corporation for National and Community Service to identify ways to effectively organize volunteer opportunities across federal government. The task force will develop public-private partnerships to expand national service.

An opportunity to serve the collective, you’ll be paid what you’re worth.

I am sure that the young folks will consider Service to Dear Leader to be compensation in itself.
REmember “To Serve Man” is A COOKBOOK.
IT'S A COOKBOOK!
Ah, hell, you beat me.
Ahh. I see that Obama has accelerated the effort to create the New Man.
Minimum Wage is now $0.00.
I’m guessing the Civilian Marksmanship Program isn’t one of them.
He thinks he’s FDR...and why not? They both caused a depression to last twice as long as it should have had a Socialist not been in office.
Heaven spare us from the "missions" of the Obamanist agencies.

This is just another clerk that will have access to your personal information. Curses!
In other words: "Be like George Zimmernman; volunteer in your community."
I like that idea. The fewer criminals walking around, the safer decent people will be.
I volunteer to guard all the ammunition DHS has.
