We collaborate with other federal agencies, colleges and universities, higher education and student associations, and nonprofit organizations to encourage student volunteerism and to promote a spirit of service after graduation.
Faith-based and other community organizations recognize the value that national service volunteers bring to their organizations' missions as they help these groups accomplish more by recruiting, training, and supervising additional volunteers.
