#Nationalservice shaped my career & led me to my position today as the CEO of Service Year. More young people should have access to these life-changing opportunities that bring them closer to their communities and their fellow citizens. Read my piece for Ripon Society.

Two years ago Service Year launched Serve America Together to make #nationalservice part of growing up in America. After tremendous successes, we are winding down the campaign, but the work continues. Read my statement on #ServeAmericaTogether & what comes next:serveamericatogether.org/an_update_on_t…

National service is facing a critical moment. We have an opportunity to step into a new era where equity is prioritized & leaders are committed to scaling & expanding national service long-term. This can only be realized if Congress takes action.

If you haven’t already—please check out my piece in this month’s Ripon Forum. I share why I believe all young Americans should have the choice and opportunity to do a #serviceyear

David Gergen said Wes Moore “…is hugely serious” about his commitment to service. I completely agree—making #serviceyears an option for all graduating from high school in MD is “hugely serious!” cnn.com/2023/01/26/opi…

It was my pleasure to testify on behalf of the Service Year Option in Maryland. I dream of the day where not just every Marylander graduating from HS, but every American graduating from HS, will have the opportunity to serve on their path to education or career.

Started #InternationalWomensDay w/ Geri’s inspiring #serviceyear story in #americorps w/Ampact. Ended it hearing from the resilient Gloria Estefan and the ceiling shattering Kamala Harris. Great to celebrate fellow women fighting to protect our planet!

It’s been 10 years since I moved from Sacramento to DC! I’m feeling nostalgic and so so motivated during this visit. It’s great to be back where it all started.
