Stephanie Armstrong, College Organizing Manager for Service Year Alliance will share about this nonprofit organization committed to making a paid, full-time year of service-- a service year-- a common opportunity for every young American. Service is an issue that has always enjoyed broad public support because it yields a triple bottom line: uniting Americans of all backgrounds, offering a transformative opportunity for young people who serve, and bringing unprecedented skills and willpower to partner with communities in need. And it’s never been more urgent.
As we work to build the movement for service across the country, college students have a uniquely powerful voice. That’s why we launched the Service Year Campus program, where students are trained and empowered to raise awareness of service year opportunities, connect more young people to service, and are given a platform to use their voice. This is an excellent opportunity for rising student leaders who are passionate about service, considering a service year, or ready to lead on an issue that unites, rather than divides.
In addition to the support of a dedicated College Organizing Manager, all campus leaders will receive ongoing leadership development, skills training, and will be eligible to attend the Service Year Action Summit in Washington, D.C., for three action-packed days of skill building, issue briefings, and lobbying on Capitol Hill (March 25-28) and to organize with us at Bonnaroo 2017.
Wednesday, March 1, 10:00 a.m., McWhorter 114
