2015 Mayors and County Day of Recognition for National Service

Join us TODAY, April 7, 2015 for #Mayors4Service and #Counties4Service!
This is your opportunity to tell friends and family that you support national service in your community.
As the annual Mayors and Counties Day of Recognition for National Service kicks-off, more than 2,630 mayors and county officials are set to unite in support of national service across the nation with one common message: National Service Works for America.
Together, these mayors and county officials will represent more than 149 million Americans, or nearly 50% of the U.S. population!
Whether it’s by thanking AmeriCorps members and Senior Corps volunteers, issuing proclamations, or sharing powerful service stories on social media, mayors and county officials will show the impact national service has on solving our nation’s biggest problems.
Don’t forget:
- Share our map graphic on Facebook and Twitter.
- Use the #Mayors4Service and #Counties4Service hashtags.
- Take a selfie with your mayor and upload it to any of your social media accounts with #Mayors4Service or #Counties4Service.
- Follow all the action on our live stream at NationalService.gov/Mayors4Service
