Extra Mile America strives to empower individuals and organizations to take up the "extra mile" mantle in both philosophy and action. 

Our work is inspired by the belief that "going the extra mile" opens doors to new possibilities. "Going the extra mile" improves the results we find in life, both professionally and personally. "Going the extra mile" allows us to make a difference in our community and in our world.

Through speaking engagements, teleconferences, and social networks, the Extra Mile America Foundation empowers people to apply the extra-mile principle, reach their goals, and live a more self-directed life. 

Check out our Extra Mile Day 2010 campaign and get involved:

"I passionately believe that now is the perfect time to do more, to push harder, and to be more creative. Challenging times are often what we need to rekindle that passion to create our own existence and not let circumstances dictate what happens to us. Sure...we all want more value in life. But we need to remember that before value can be given...value must be added. There is no better time than now to commit to adding more value to our jobs and our communities."
