ServiceNation is working towards the day when a year in a national service program like AmeriCorps is a common expectation for Americans, and when national service is universally accepted as a strategy for putting people to work, tackling pressing social challenges and uniting Americans in common purpose.

If every year, hundreds of thousands of Americans – and eventually one million – dedicate a term of national service as tutors, mentors, teachers, disaster responders, and more, we believe that America will be transformed into a nation of engaged and connected citizens, with a sense of shared identity and common purpose.

On April 25th, 2013, General Stanley McChrystal (ret) joined the set of Morning Joe to talk about the importance of national service on the four-year anniversary of the Serve America Act.

Several key leaders have also added their voice to the occasion as ServiceNation launches a sweeping campaign to make national service a way of life.
