Description
The United States is at a critical moment, with a need to restore confidence in public institutions, bring people together across differences for a common purpose, and provide more opportunities for Americans to give back to their communities and states. Founded in 2016, Service Year Alliance is working to make a year of paid, full-time service—a service year—a common expectation and opportunity for all young Americans by working with states, businesses, funders, nonprofits, and other partners to expand service year opportunities. With Corporation support, Service Year Alliance will launch a new partnership with America’s Service Commissions to advance the innovation and growth of state-led community service programs to empower young people to serve, solve important community problems, build cultural competency, and fuel civic renewal in America.
