	Todd Bernstein Presidet, Global Citizen Todd Bernstein is president of Global Citizen, a non-profit organization he founded in 1995, which promotes sustainable civic engagement through volunteer service, locally and globally. Bernstein is the founder and director of the annual Greater Philadelphia Martin Luther King Day of Service, which he helped create nationally in 1994 with Pennsylvania U. S. Senator Harris Wofford and Atlanta Congressman John Lewis, both veterans of the civil rights movement with Dr. King. In 1996, Bernstein started the nation's first King Day of Service in Philadelphia. The Greater Philadelphia King Day of Service has drawn some 600,000 volunteers over fifteen years. Each year, it has been the largest King Holiday event in the nation. This past January, more than 70,000 people volunteered in some 1,100 projects. Global Citizen also runs MLK365, a year-round volunteer program that uses the King Day of Service as a springboard to ongoing volunteer service. From 2006-2008, Bernstein was director of the King Day of Service National Expansion Initiative through the Corporation for National and Community Service in Washington, D.C. In 2000, Bernstein served as director of the National Shadow Convention, a bi-partisan event held concurrently with the Republican and Democratic national conventions. The event drew national political, education, and community leaders to address domestic issues, including the economy, campaign finance reform, and civic engagement. In 1997, Bernstein was a national planner of the Presidents' Summit for America's Future. The five-day summit brought together America's living presidents and community leaders to address civic engagement and opportunities for America's at-risk young citizens. The summit led to the creation of America's Promise: the Alliance for Youth. From 1991-1995, Bernstein served as state office chief of staff to Pennsylvania U.S. Senator Harris Wofford. He was executive assistant to Pennsylvania Labor and Industry Secretary Wofford in the administration of Pennsylvania Governor Robert Casey. Earlier, he was press secretary to Philadelphia Mayor W. Wilson Goode and executive director of the Pennsylvania Democratic Party. Bernstein's community involvement includes serving as co-chair of the School District of Philadelphia's Task Force on Racial and Cultural Harmony and as a board member of PennSERVE: the Pennsylvania Governor's Office of Citizen Service. He is on the advisory board of Philadelphia's Cities of Service initiative. He recently served for seven years as the board president of the Fairmount Park Historic Preservation Trust and board vice-president of the YouthBuild Philadelphia Charter School. In 1999, the Points of Light Foundation honored the Greater Philadelphia King Day of Service as a national Point of Light. In 2000, the Points of Light Foundation recognized Bernstein with its national Point of Light Award. Community recognition in 2009 included the Jewish Social Policy Action Network Social Justice Award and the National Association of Blacks in Criminal Justice Legacy Award. The Philadelphia Inquirer has honored Bernstein with its Citizen Hero Award. Bernstein received a B.A. in Politics and American History from Ithaca College and studied for an M.G.A. at the University of Pennsylvania's Fels Center of Government. A daily runner for more than thirty years, he lives in Philadelphia with his veterinarian wife, Dr. Jennifer Muller, and an assortment of dogs, cats, and a cockatoo.

Prairie Crossing is a very tight knit community and people love living there. A group of people within the community began to meet to discuss how one could stay in Prairie Crossing as they got older. They called themselves the Aging at Home Alliance. The meetings evolved into a group that would eventually become the Prairie Crossing Volunteer Corps working to help people of all ages in the community whenever they needed it. They would help with errands, meal preparation etc. in case of illness or surgery. Months went by and no one asked for help. Then they got their first real call for help, and it was a woman in the community who was having a heart transplant. She had no family in the area, and would need 24 hour help during her recovery.
