About the President’s Council on Service and Civic Participation

In January of 2003, by Executive Order, President George W. Bush announced the formation of the President’s Council on Service and Civic Participation.

On January 27, 2005, President Bush amended the Executive Order, extending the President’s Council through January 2007. Administered by the Corporation for National and Community Service, the Council brings together leaders from the worlds of business, entertainment, sports, education, government, nonprofits, and the media.
