Supporting the designation of the second Friday of June as "National Service and Conservation Corps Day".

This resolution advocates for the designation of the second Friday of June as "National Service and Conservation Corps Day" to honor the significant contributions of these organizations. It acknowledges a network of over 150 Service and Conservation Corps nationwide that provide education, workforce development, and support services to nearly 23,000 young adults and post-9/11 veterans annually. These corps, direct descendants of the Civilian Conservation Corps, engage participants in vital service projects addressing recreation, disaster response, conservation, and community needs. Corpsmembers gain valuable work experience, develop in-demand skills, and often receive stipends and education awards for their service, alongside educational programming and mentoring. The resolution highlights the diverse projects undertaken by Corpsmembers, including enhancing public spaces, preserving public lands, and responding to natural disasters like hurricanes and wildfires. It emphasizes the critical role these corps play in addressing deferred maintenance on public lands, restoring ecosystems, and building community resilience, while also providing opportunities for young people facing unemployment. Therefore, the resolution congratulates the existing network, urges citizens to recognize their importance, and supports their continued expansion under the National and Community Service Act.
