the buzz log
Just when you thought the Obama administration had exhausted every possible idea for a government website, there's one more. And it's in Spanish. Say "hola" to servir.gov, the Spanish-language version of the volunteer website serve.gov.
You may remember that Michelle Obama helped kick off the volunteering website for a summer of service just a few short months ago. The idea is that there are enough local needs out there that one or two could tempt a budding volunteer to point, click, and serve.
The site has grown considerably since it launched. There are now 250,000 volunteer opportunities. With unemployment numbers looking bleak, volunteering could be good way to help out the community and fatten that resume.
With Michelle Obama set to plug the new Spanish version of the website in a video during the ABC ALMA awards, searches on "serve.gov" have shot up.
The new site in Spanish opens up an entirely new audience of potential volunteers. Muy bien.
