Update on National Service
Readers have written to me about the posting on February 2nd, “Uncle Sam Needs You,” asking that I point them in the direction of further information on the subject of national service. Two documents may be of interest.
The first is a task force on national service hosted by the American Jewish Committee which was released in July 2007, called “Imagining America — Making National Service a National Priority.” I had the honor of chairing the task force, comprised of participating members who represented a broad range of constituencies from education, government, industry, and social service. Copies are available either online or from the AJC at 165 East 65th Street, New York, NY 10022.
Today, my mail brought me something from the Partnership for Public Service, the president of which is Max Stier. It is called “Making the Difference: A Blueprint for Matching University Students with Federal Opportunities.” This report articulates a two-year Congressionally funded initiative “designed to identify cost-effective and sustainable ways to promote federal service in a university setting.” You can find this document at Call to Serve.
