Public Service Includes Service to Veterans

Last Thursday the Senate voted to expand the number of national service jobs to a quarter-million by 2017.  Included in the plan is the creation of a Veterans' Corps, where those who have served would help those who are currently transitioning to find a career and many other components of civilian life.  What remains to be seen is how exactly the group will come to be - one possibility is through AmeriCorps, who regularly attend our events.  The group is meant to function through partnerships with private organizations, and our relationship with AmeriCorps is a great example of how that can happen!  Keep it in mind and have a great week.
