 ServiceNation, A Campaign for National Service, is Up and Running in Michigan!
The ServiceNation campaign aims to lead the passage of dramatic new service legislation, creating opportunities for Americans to serve at every key life-stage as a strategy for addressing critical challenges in communities. The campaign will also look to create a Declaration of Service which will serve as a blueprint for creating a true nation of service. The campaign will launch with a ServiceNation Summit, Sept. 11-12 in New York City, bringing hundreds of influential leaders together to draft the Declaration and form ServiceNation's policy process. The campaign then picks up steam with a Day of Action on September 27th, which will call on you, your neighbors, friends, and family to join in this citizen movement and make it a success! | • AmeriCorps Funding Opportunity
