092907apollobillBil Clinton: ‘We want to make a movement feel to this. Private people doing public work. You can work on a political campaign. You can get involved in a cause…

We live in a short attention span society. If you want people to do something, they have to know how to do it immediately…

Young people from the ages from 16-30 are more involved in the kind of work we’re talking about here tonight than at any time in history. We’re riding the tide…

I’ve got a lot of confidence in the younger generation. What the technology and the Internet and avenues like MTV give us is more and more ways to make an impact…

Find something you can give. Maybe it’s not food or money. Maybe it’s clothes you can donate. Find out what you can do.’

Bill’s goal: to get 100% of the young people to see this as a part of citizenship.
