Service Advocacy Coalitions

Youth Service America is a part of the following two advocacy coalitions. They each have many helpful resources on their websites.

Service-Learning United - Service-Learning United is a growing alliance of state and national organizations working collectively to educate our nation’s leaders, policymakers, and citizens about the positive and powerful impact service-learning has on our young people and the communities they serve. We are committed to increasing support, recognition, and resources for service-learning through public engagement and effective policy strategies.

Voices for National Service - Voices for National Service is a coalition of national service programs and state commissions committed to expanding opportunities for Americans to serve. Founded in 2003 in response to major cuts in federal funding that threatened hundreds of AmeriCorps programs, Voices for National Service mobilized supporters to spread a critical message: America needs AmeriCorps.
