I am excited to share that today I am joining @ServiceYear as CEO. Our team’s mission: to make a year of paid, full-time service — a #serviceyear — a common expectation and opportunity for all young Americans. Read the full announcement here: serviceyearalliance.org/new_…
We at @ServiceYear welcome your nomination, @msmithDC! We would be honored and humbled to work with you to make national service a common opportunity and expectation of growing up in our country. serviceyearalliance.org/stat…
I am beyond humbled and excited to be nominated by President Biden to lead @AmeriCorps, formerly known as the Corporation for National and Community Service.

Thanks for the airtime on this topic, @smerconish. At @ServiceYear we are working to make nat'l service a common expectation + opportunity for all young Americans. 1mil+ serving annually would yield transformative civic renewal in our country. @ServeUSA2gether @tcscornavacchi
Well said, @nytimes. Our team at @serviceyear is over-the-moon excited. Thank you to our @ServeUSA2gether co-chairs @StanMcChrystal, @HowardSchultz, @ariannahuff, @JeffJHuber, Sec Robert Gates, Laura Lauder, @DevalPatrick, Andrew Hauptman, @DrJoeHeckDO, and @iamwesmoore!

BREAKING: $1 billion for #nationalservice is included in the American Rescue Plan — the largest investment in national service in decades! Thrilled to see @POTUS and Congress invest in national service to continue to boost pandemic response efforts: bit.ly/3v524KX

"@POTUS has an opportunity to become the Service President by making #nationalservice a defining cause of his presidency. National service has the potential to truly transform our nation, young people & democracy.” @KrisNoelBennett at @americanacad's event on national service

“We think #nationalservice is inevitable. Our civic divides are only going to deepen…& we are going to have leaders grasping for solutions to bring us back together. Rather than start 5, 10, 15 years from now, this is an urgent moment. Let’s get started now.” -@Colvin4Service
Looking forward to joining @DevalPatrick, @CNCS_CEO, @isawhill, @BillGalston & others at @BrookingsInst tomorrow to discuss the importance of expanding #nationalservice. Register to attend in person or watch via livestream: brook.gs/2mkgZCl

What will @AmeriCorps look like in 2044? What issues will the next generation face that AmeriCorps members could address? @AmeriCorpsAlums Rebecca Lange shares her thoughts in @TheRenewalProj on the next 25 years of AmeriCorps for #AmeriCorps25: therenewalproject.com/raisin…
Proud to share the stage at @ServiceYear’s #CommunityChangeMakerSummit with community leaders & mayors like @karenaboutgary & @PhillyMayor as we discuss the need to expand #serviceyear opportunities to meet local needs. serviceyearalliance.org/comm…
Service years are a powerful mechanism for workforce development & addressing local needs, & the #CommunityChangeMakerSummit will lay the groundwork for scaling service years so that every city, state, region, and town can utilize this essential community development tool.

Has the spirit of altruism faded in recent years? We check on the state of volunteering and ask what is being done to motivate Americans to do good in their spare time.
