Want to tell the US Government about why AmeriCorps and Service Years matter? 

The National Commission on Military, National, and Public Service seeks to learn more about why people serve and why people may choose not to serve, as well as ways to increase the number of Americans in military, national, and public service.  The Commission welcomes comments from the public on any aspect of the Commission’s mission, including the following questions:

1. Does service have inherent value? If so, what is it?
2. How does the U.S. increase the desire for Americans, particularly young Americans, to serve?
3. What are the barriers to participation in military, national or public service?
4. How can the U.S. increase participation in military, national, and public service by individuals with critical skills to address national security and other public service needs of the nation?
5. Is the military draft or draft contingency still a necessary component of U.S. national security?
6. Are modifications to the selective service system needed?
7. Is a mandatory service requirement for all Americans necessary, valuable, and feasible?
