Getting Involved in ServiceNation


Thank you for joining the ServiceNation movement! 

ServiceNation is not only a campaign of ideas, but one of action and the power of citizens. The Day of Action is also a day of possibility.

On September 27, across the nation, thousands of individuals, groups, and communities will come together to learn, serve, and celebrate the impact and potential that service has in our communities.
 

To help you out, we've got a lot of information for organizing a Day of Action event.
