Volunteers for Prosperity

President Bush issued an executive order on September 25, 2003 to implement the "Volunteers for Prosperity," a component of the White House’s USA Freedom Corps that oversees national and international volunteer programs including Peace Corps and Americorps. Under Bush's plan, volunteers are matched through USA Freedom Corps with non-governmental organizations (NGO's) working through programs such as the Millennium Challenge Account. The initiative calls upon professionals to be deployed for a limited period of time, normally weeks or months.
