SUMMARY STATEMENT:
On National Service Recognition Day, thousands of local leaders take time to honor AmeriCorps members and Senior Corps volunteers by participating in recognition events, issuing official
proclamations, and taking to social media in a nationwide show of appreciation. This initiative is led by the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS), the National League
of Cities, the National Association of Counties, and Cities of Service and will take place on the first Tuesday of April each year.
Mayors and city leaders, county officials, and tribal leaders across the country are using national service more and more to solve their community’s toughest challenges. CNCS, America’s
leader in volunteering and service efforts, engages over 270,000 AmeriCorps members and Senior Corps volunteers in national service at more than 40,000 locations each year. Through
partnerships with schools, faith-based groups, non-profits, and local agencies, national service members are embedded within the communities they serve, using their ingenuity and training
to make a tangible, lasting impact. Whether responding to natural disasters, tackling the opioid epidemic, educating students for the 21st century workforce, or supporting veterans
and military families, AmeriCorps members and Senior Corps volunteers help local leaders make their communities stronger.
Due to the COVID-19 Coronavirus pandemic, the committee recognition event normally held the first week of April has been cancelled. Clerk staff is working at finding another way to show
gratitude to all of the City related volunteer committee members. The proclamation is attached.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Proclaim April 6, 2021, as National Service Recognition Day and authorize the Mayor to sign the proclamation.
