Giving a year of your life in service to your nation — and the difference it makes.
A service year is a full-time, paid or stipended term of AmeriCorps national service, usually 10–12 months, during which an individual commits to addressing a critical community or national need.
Service years are designed to bridge divides — bringing together Americans from different backgrounds, regions, and beliefs to work toward common goals. They are one of the most powerful tools for building the kind of national unity that United We Stand stands for.
Serving in underserved communities to build housing, improve schools, and strengthen local institutions.
Protecting national parks, restoring ecosystems, and responding to natural disasters across America.
Tutoring students, supporting teachers, and expanding access to quality education for all Americans.
Honoring and assisting those who served by providing resources, companionship, and community.
Expanding healthcare access, fighting opioid addiction, and supporting mental health in communities in need.
Standing ready to help communities recover from floods, fires, and other crises across the nation.
"Ask not what your country can do for you — ask what you can do for your country." — President John F. Kennedy
United We Stand believes that expanding national service opportunities is one of the most effective ways to heal the divisions in America and build shared identity and purpose across political, cultural, and regional lines.
