Now that the Serve America Act has been passed by Congress and signed by President Obama, the Corporation for National and Community Service is looking for public input on how to:
- Attract people of all ages to serve
- Promote more service
programs focused on education, healthy futures, clean energy, veterans
and economic opportunity - Stimulate new partnerships, both within the
government sector and with businesses and foundations, for greater impact - Identify and nurture new programs that can host additional AmeriCorps slots
- Better demonstrate impact
- Preserve the diversity of
programs and the localized nature of solutions - Implement the Serve America Fellows, Encore Fellows and Silver Scholarship programs
