IL SR1437

Recognizes April 3, 2018 as National Service Day in Illinois to honor AmeriCorps and Senior Corps participants.

Acknowledges that national service participants address community challenges including education, opioid epidemic response, disaster relief, and veteran support.

Notes AmeriCorps and Senior Corps participants serve in more than 50,000 locations across the country and strengthen civic, neighborhood, and faith-based organizations.

Highlights that national service represents a public-private partnership that leverages non-federal resources and increases return on taxpayer dollars.

Encourages Illinois citizens to recognize the positive impact of national service, thank those who serve, and participate in giving back to their communities.
