EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
“It may be laid down as a primary position, and the basis of our system, that
every Citizen who enjoys the protection of a free Government,
owes not only a proportion of his property,
but even of his personal services to the defense of it.”
GEORGE WASHINGTON

ENGAGE
Unleashing the passion and ingenuity of the
American people will help solve our nation’s most pressing problems.
By improving the way we connect volunteers with nonprofit,
faith-based, and civic organizations, we can engage 100 million volunteers
per year to address these issues. The American people, when given
the opportunity, will drive the meaningful citizen-led
change this nation needs.

TRANSFORMATIVE
College campuses have traditionally been catalysts for social change,
spurred by idealistic and energetic student bodies. A nationwide
service movement will be no different. By creating corps of dedicated
service leaders and increasing opportunities for engagement in local
communities, colleges and universities can catalyze a transformative
service movement among the next generation of leaders.

EXPANDING THE NOTION OF SERVICE ON COLLEGE CAMPUSES
JUMPSTART
SERVEMeeting our most pressing challenges will require the concerted efforts of
full- and part-time national service volunteers and encouragement for people
to transition to service sector careers. The Serve America Program will build
upon a strengthened AmeriCorps program by adding five new “problem
solving” corps – emphasizing volunteer-led solutions in education, the
environment, poverty reduction, health, and disaster relief. Individuals wishing
to serve in smaller community nonprofits or faith-based charities will apply for
Serve America Fellowships for individual service. Veterans Service Fellowships
will provide opportunities for veterans to reengage in their communities
through domestic citizen service. Encore fellowships will be a vehicle for
increasing the flow of talented people in their post midlife phase to move to
Jennifer Cogswell
nonprofit organizations. Together, Serve America will engage an additional one

million Americans annually in sustained, targeted national service by 2020.

PEACE + PROSPERITY
International service often directly relates to domestic service and
Americans who experience one form of service often experience
the other. International service is central to bringing people together to
address our world’s problems. Almost 200,000 Americans have heeded
John F. Kennedy’s call to international service since he created the Peace
Corps nearly fifty years ago. It is time to renew that call. By expanding
and enhancing the Peace Corps and providing additional opportunities
for exceptional Americans to volunteer in developing countries,
we can activate 100,000 citizen ambassadors every year to build peace
and prosperity in some of the world’s neediest regions.

INNOVATION
Just as the government provides financial incentives for business-
sector R&D, so too can government foster innovation in the nonprofit
sector, leveraging federal dollars to invest in the best solutions to
our nation’s problems. Harnessing this type of innovation and
Jay Venezia
entrepreneurship in the social sector would build a system that inspires

social sector invention, identifies and funds the best solutions, scales what
PHOTO
works, and improves nonprofit capacity as a whole. Investing in

COMMUNITIES IN SCHOOLS
nonprofits to find better, more effective solutions would, in the long run,
save the government money and improve the lives of all Americans.

IMPACT
Adults age 50+ are one of our nation’s fastest growing resources.
From the Greatest Generation to the Baby Boomers, this group has
contributed much to society. Yet across these generations, people give
back in different ways. While some are motivated to help through
formal volunteer roles, others tend to seek more informal and
flexible opportunities to make a difference.
Boomers and their older counterparts care deeply

about giving back and have a long tradition of engaging with
others to make a difference. Yet many are having a hard time finding the
right volunteer roles in their communities that fit their skills and interests,
as well as their schedule. Boomers have the capacity to do more if
opportunities become more flexible and apparent.
Dave McConomy
Many 50+ Americans will want or need to have jobs; some will prefer
to volunteer through existing Senior Corps programs; others may seek
alternatives. Whatever their path, national service can and should play a
PHOTO
central role in engaging Americans who have finished their midlife careers.
EXPERIENCE CORPS
Through impactful service, they will remain healthier, find new meaning in
their lives, and transform America’s expectations for post-retirement living.

QUALITY
As volunteering expands, we must remain focused on the quality of
service delivered. While each service-providing organization receiving
grants will document and measure its individual service outcomes,
volunteers’ evaluations of their service experiences will help grant
makers determine which service providers are making the biggest impacts.
A new Civic Health Index will track localized volunteering data to help local
decision makers know where their communities stand in civic engage-
ment relative to the rest of the country. Finally, a National Service Council
will report directly to the President on the country’s civic engagement and
THE CORPS NETWORK
ways to further engage Americans in service.
