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

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: https://t.co/kbXcDLhIbD
"@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
@ChrisCoons, thank you for your indefatigable leadership. Your advocacy and support has been critical. Given the stakes for our nation and fellow Americans, we know that the expansion of #nationalservice will help us confront many challenges, including from the #COVID19 pandemic.
Service year corps members are supporting communities across the country, helping meet the challenge of vaccine distribution, mentoring, & address growing food insecurity. #nationalservice https://t.co/rXW0W1AzXS

“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
There is no question that America’s civic health is declining. Join @ServiceYear & @BrookingsInst on Thursday as we explore how expanded #nationalservice is the best antidote to our civic divide and can restore a sense of community and belonging: https://t.co/kbCWOdeJDH
