The Presidents’ Summit on Volunteerism convened April 27-29, 1997 in Philadelphia under the chairmanship of General Colin Powell. The president of the United States and two former presidents participated along with governors, mayors, corporate CEOs and 100 national community service leaders.
The summit goal is to mobilize voluntary, charitable organizations across the nation to meet the needs of America’s children and youth. Of particular interest are children from low-income households, single-parent families and living in neighborhoods where violence, alcohol, drugs and crowded schools make it difficult for them to learn. Adventist Community Services made a commitment on behalf of the Seventh-day Adventist Church.
