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. The sixth-annual National Service Recognition
Day will take place on Tuesday, April 3, 2018. 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.
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 325,000 AmeriCorps members and Senior Corps volunteers in national
service at more than 50,000 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
st
disasters, tackling the opioid epidemic, educating students for the 21 century workforce, or supporting
veterans and military families, AmeriCorps members and Senior Corps volunteers help local leaders make
their communities stronger
City staff has prepared for a committee recognition breakfast on this day to recognize all of our city related
volunteer committee members. A Proclamation and FAQ is attached.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Proclaim April 3, 2018, as National Service Recognition Day and authorize the Mayor to sign the
proclamation
