When we launched @MichiganCorps in 2010, our founding premise was that there is untapped service potential in, and for, every American place. Bravo, Pete, for anchoring in this potential - and more!

The national service community lost a champion yesterday with the passing of Harris Wofford. We will continue to fight for the ideals he stood for, and carry them forward through acts of service to our communities and country. bit.ly/2Tfl0TG
