On September 11, 2007, Lozano was named Deputy Assistant to the President and Director of USA Freedom Corps. He advanced the “Call to Service” initiative launched by President George W. Bush in his 2002 “State of the Union” address.[3][4][5][6] President George W. Bush created USA Freedom Corps to build on the countless acts of service, sacrifice and generosity that followed the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks.[7]
As Director, Henry Lozano worked to orchestrate and coordinate service and volunteering efforts with organizations ranging from the Peace Corps and AmeriCorps to Senior Corps and the Points of Light Foundation, including the creation of the innovative volunteer.gov website (which recently evolved into www.serve.gov, the “central hub” for service and volunteer coordination under President Barack Obama).[8] Lozano is a graduate of Teen Challenge, a spiritually-based recovery program. Throughout his career, he has championed many causes, especially those related to substance abuse prevention and recovery programs.[2]
In 2003, George W. Bush invited Henry Lozano to sit as an honored guest in the First Lady's box during his State of the Union address.[9] In his speech, the president said: "Let us bring to all Americans who struggle with drug addiction this message of hope: The miracle of recovery is possible, and it could be you." [10][11]
In 2005, Henry Lozano was awarded the President’s “Call to Service” Award in recognition of a lifetime of service.[2]
