ServiceNation

ServiceNation is a national campaign to increase service opportunities and elevate service as a core ideal and problem-solving strategy in American society. Reaching an estimated 100 million citizens through its 200-plus member groups, ServiceNation played a leading role in the drafting and April 2009 enactment of the Edward M. Kennedy Serve America Act, which authorizes the greatest expansion of national service in America since FDR created the Civilian Conservation Corps. Now that the Act has passed, the ServiceNation coalition is working to inspire a powerful culture of volunteerism in our country through the promotion of national days of service and strategic partnerships across the entertainment, philanthropic, and corporate sectors. We envision an America in which a commonly asked question is, “Where do you serve?”

ServiceNation is the first campaign of Be the Change, Inc., a Cambridge, MA-based non-profit dedicated to strengthening American democracy by uniting citizens, social entrepreneurs, the service world and leaders from every sector of American society. Be the Change taps the wisdom, experience, and networks of these practitioners and thought leaders to craft post-partisan policy solutions to our greatest challenges and build powerful coalitions to advocate for them.
