On February 10, 2010, Denise Juneau kicked off the ServeMontana Symposium, a two-day community building conference that highlights national service and volunteerism in Montana put on by the Governor's Office of Community Service.
Juneau praised the volunteers and community group members in attendance and thanked them for their hard work. She said that the current generation of students is more interested in finding ways to make a difference than any generation before them and highlighted several student-led projects that are making a difference in Montana. She encouraged the volunteers to embrace their differences and to learn all they can from others.
"People around the world, the country, and our state fundamentally share many of the same values," said Juneau. "We all love our family and friends. We want to be safe. We want to be educated, and we want to be healthy."
