Later on Friday, Gore continued her visit to Boston with a speech about service at an Americorps recruiting drive at Northeastern University.
Before the speech, Gore continued her support of women in athletics as she met with the Harvard national champion women's hockey team to commend them for their dedication to athletics and teamwork.
Afterwards, Gore took the stage and spoke to over 200 college students, encouraging them to volunteer with Americorps, which places student volunteers around the country.
"We need to bring the country together; we need to ask questions about racism and violence," Gore said. "I invite you to join Americorps."
Gore also touched on the Colorado shooting in this speech, saying that she and the vice president would attend yesterday's memorial service in Littleton.
Other speakers at the Americorps event included Sen. John F. Kerry (D-Mass.), Kameelah, a cast member from MTV's "The Real World," and Tom Scott, co-founder of Nantucket Nectars.
