The Extra Mile — Points of Light Volunteer Pathway is a new national monument dedicated to the spirit of service in America. Honoring heroes of our Nation’s service movement, the Extra Mile comprises a series of bronze medallions forming a one-mile walking path just blocks from the White House.
From founders of major service organizations to civil rights leaders, the 20 initial honorees selflessly championed causes to help others realize a better America. Their legacies are enduring social movements that continue to engage and inspire us today.
The Extra Mile is an initiative of the Points of Light Foundation and was approved by Congress and the District of Columbia. It is funded entirely by private sources.
