Policy Corner

National service is a powerful policy strategy that has been embraced by our nation’s leaders for decades. AmeriCorps delivers measurable results for local communities while providing critical services to veterans, disaster victims, and families across the nation. Successive American presidents have sought to grow national service as a tool for solving local and national challenges, developing leaders and creating pathways to work. There is strong bipartisan support to expand national service.

“[Service] is actually something that brings us together and unites us a country instead of divides us. It is something we all gather together around and honor.”
