This Veterans Day, we’re highlighting the work of @ChamberlainVets.

​Founded in 2024, the national nonprofit is mobilizing veterans — among the most trusted voices in American public life — to use their unique experiences and leadership to promote free and fair elections, strengthen healthy democratic institutions, and foster a vibrant civic culture.

​With Carnegie support, the Chamberlain Network will continue to empower veterans as trusted community leaders and fund an annual fellowship for veterans to lead local civic initiatives.

Two-term mayor of Indianapolis, Stephen Goldsmith, started his life in public service as an Eagle Scout.

Under Presidents George W. Bush and @BarackObama, he led the parent agency of @AmeriCorps, where he saw how service benefits communities and gives those who serve a sense of purpose.

“So much of what our communities are about is a shared purpose, and that comes from serving others,” says Goldsmith (@GoldsmithOnGov).
