Twenty years ago Friday, hundreds of volunteers met at Boston Common to pledge their commitment to get things done for America. They were among the first AmeriCorps members in the country.

Emily Haber, CEO of the Massachusetts Service Alliance, which coordinates AmeriCorps volunteers in the state, joined WBUR's Morning Edition to discuss the anniversary.

This segment aired on September 12, 2014.
