Agenda Text
The Board is requested to proclaim April 3, 2018 at National Service Recognition Day. The Eagle Corps program at North Carolina Central University has joined with other AmeriCorps and Senior Corps serving programs in Durham County to celebrate its membership on Tuesday, April 3, 2018 at 11:30 am at the Parrish Street Forum, located at 108 W. Parrish Street. The proclamation will be officially presented on honor of the 6th Annual National Service Recognition Day during the event.
Americorps and Senior Corps solve some of the toughest community problems. The Corporation for National Community Service (CNCS) is America’s leader in volunteering and service efforts. Through partnerships with schools, faith-based groups, non-profits, and local agencies, national service members are embedded within the communities they serve to make a tangible, lasting impact.
Alignment With Strategic Plan: This work crosses all goal areas to help build a stronger, safer, more prosperous community for all.
Resource Persons: Wendy Jacobs, Chair; Calleen Herbert, Program Director of Eagle Corps at NCCU
County Manager’s Recommendation: The County Manager recommends that the Board proclaim April 3, 2018 as National Service Recognition Day and encourage the citizens to find opportunities to serve our community.
