We have developed a wealth of project resources and solutionsat home and abroadthat are OF THE PEOPLE. The implementation of a national K-12 service learning initiative, BY THE PEOPLE, would take us to the next level, creating a better and safer world FOR THE PEOPLE on a global scale.
From our beginnings, Americans have been innovative pioneers. A national K-12 service initiative is immediately actionable, embraces existing systems of support, has short- and long-term outcomes, and is sustainable for the long haul worldwide. It gives people something practical to do in their communities, reviving the American spirit and awakening a true sense of community with our children at the helm.
A national K-12 initiative would create:
A national service learning curriculum
Sustained local, national, and global outreach
Leadership roles for our youngest
A common heritage of civic engagement
