Nominations for the Friends of National Service Awards

Has your member of Congress been a standout champion for national service?

Do you know a business leader or national service advocate in your community who has gone above and beyond to support AmeriCorps and AmeriCorps Seniors?

Over the years, this annual event has honored 150 distinguished leaders in government, business, philanthropy, and journalism — leaders who have contributed to building a culture of citizenship, service, and responsibility within America.
