June 16 marks the first National Service and Conservation Corps Day!
#ServeOutdoors
Background
June is Great Outdoors Month: a nationally-recognized celebration of America’s public lands and waters and the many ways to enjoy them. Held in recognition of Great Outdoors Month, National Service and Conservation Corps Day seeks to:
- Celebrate everything that Corps programs have accomplished for our country over the past 90 years.
- Show gratitude to Corps alums, as well as the young adults and veterans actively serving in Corps and helping improve our communities, lands, and waters.
- Raise awareness about Corps and the importance of national service programs in helping maintain our public lands and waters. We can always use more support for the work Corps do to empower young leaders and build a more sustainable tomorrow.
National Service and Conservation Corps Day was made official through a Resolution introduced by Sen. Martin Heinrich (D-NM) and Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-LA). Co-sponsors include Sens. Chris Coons (D-DE), Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV), and John Hickenlooper (D-CO). Join us in thanking Senators Heinrich, Cassidy, Coons, Capito, and Hickenlooper for their support of national service programs.
