“Everybody can be great. Because anybody can serve. You don’t have to have a college degree to serve. You don’t have to make your subject and your verb agree to serve….

~Martin Luther King, Jr.

“You can study government and politics in school, but the best way to really understand the process is to volunteer your time.”
