Creating Americorps: Bipartisanship in Action (SIGNED FIRST EDITION)

Menlo Park, CA: Self-Published, 2023. First Edition. Original wraps. Near Fine. 6 1/8 X 9 1/8 Inches. 257 PP. "I challenge a new generation of young Americans to a season of service: to act on your idealism by helping troubled children, keeping company with those in need, reconnecting our torn communities. There is so much to be done; enough, indeed, for millions of others who are still young in spirit to give of themselves in service, too. In serving, we recognize a simple but powerful truth: We need each other, and we must care for one another." - President Bill Clinton (First Inaugural Address, January 20, 1993)<br /> <br /> First printing of this newly published memoir about the creation of Americorps. Signed and dated by author Catherine Milton directly on the title-page. AmeriCorps delivers programs designed to help communities address poverty, the environment, education, and other needs. The organization is the United States domestic version of the Peace Corps in a lot of ways. Tremendous forewords by Michelle Nunn and Thomas Ehrlich. Creating Americorps feels very conversational and is a no nonsense first-person account that would be valuable to every political and civic leader in the United States (in my humble opinion). <br /> <br /> An AS NEW copy in glossy original wraps as issued.
