Carl Elliot Society |
http://volunteer.ua.edu/elliott.html |
|
The society’s chief purpose is to
promote an ethic of civic responsibility
by recognizing middle and high school
students, university students and
public- minded citizens who answer the
call to community service. The needs of
our society are great and the resources
for solving problems are few. Future
leaders must possess the skills to
identify problems in the social fabric
and weave new patterns of opportunities
to address them. Traditional political
solutions are not the answer; the
problems are far too complex for that.
Solutions must come from people who are
committed to a better life for all and
who believe change be accomplished if
individuals work together. |
