WASHINGTON, March 10, 2021 /PRNewswire/ Serve America Together, a campaign working to make national service part of growing up in America, released the following statements today applauding congressional leaders on the passage of the American Rescue Plan COVID-19 relief bill. The legislation, which now awaits the signature of President Joe Biden, prioritizes $1 billion to help communities across the country recover from the pandemic through the expansion of national service opportunities. This additional funding allows for an increase in the national service living allowance, making the opportunity to serve more accessible to all Americans, and represents the largest investment in national service in decades.

As the Biden administration takes shape, an emphasis on voluntary national service, namely young adults volunteering national service at home, abroad or in the military in exchange for tuition waivers for higher education, will be a powerful beginning. The healing bridge for youth who will shape the future is voluntary service for the public good.
AmeriCorps, VISTA and the Peace Corps are relatively limited programs of national and international service to which Americans of sincere purpose have contributed their talents for decades.
The Brookings Institution and Service Year Alliance have published reports and recommendations on the prospects for national service. The National Commission on Military, National, and Public Service recently presented a comprehensive plan for national service.

Serve America Together campaign show that the majority of Americans support President Joe Biden s focus on healing the nation and believe an expansion of civilian national service opportunities for young Americans can help accomplish that goal. President Biden s inaugural speech focused largely on the idea that for the nation to heal and move forward national unity must be prioritized, arguing that we never fail when we act together. More than three-quarters of respondents to the poll said they support Congress passing legislation that would expand national service opportunities, such as AmeriCorps and the Peace Corps.
