Â鶹´«Ã½ÍøÕ¾

The American Â鶹´«Ã½ÍøÕ¾ of Arts and Sciences, in partnership with California Volunteers, hosted a virtual symposium on national service. 

New research was undertaken by the Â鶹´«Ã½ÍøÕ¾ to advance a recommendation in its bipartisan report, Our Common Purpose: Reinventing American Democracy for the 21st Century, to make a year of national service a universal experience for young Americans from diverse backgrounds. The Â鶹´«Ã½ÍøÕ¾ collaborated with America’s Service Commissions and California Volunteers to convene focus groups in California and conduct state and national polling. 

This event featured champions of national service and data-driven strategies to increase interest in serving.
