President Obama wants you — yes, you — to participate in a summer service campaign that he’s calling United We Serve.

“From June 22 to September 11, United We Serve will begin to engage Americans from coast to coast in addressing community needs in education, health, energy and the environment, and community renewal,” reads the Serve.gov website.

Cabinet members and admin officials will kick the program off on Monday with service-related events around the country, many of which have a green tinge:

Department of Labor
Secretary Solis will work with the Los Angeles Communities Advocating for Unity Social Justice and Action YouthBuild program to help construct energy-efficient housing for low income individuals.

Department of the Interior
Secretary Salazar will work with volunteers from Youth Conservation Corps, Volunteers-in-the-Parks, Student Conservation Association and the Shenandoah National Park Association to remove exotic plants in the Shenandoah National Park.
