NationSwell + Service Year: Everyone has a place in the service year movement

In the first episode of NationSwell’s 8-part mini documentary series on service years, the Chair of our Board, Gen. (Ret.) Stan McChrystal, shares his personal experience with service — both in and out of uniform.

Watch and share to join Gen. McChrystal in making the case for national service and the need for a common experience:


This video marks the first episode in an 8-part series of mini-documentaries in partnership with NationSwell, to demonstrate the power of service years and tell inspiring stories of people who have served and the impact of their service on our communities and country.

The video premiered at a National Service Symposium in Washington, DC among policymakers, military and business leaders, and service year champions.

We are thrilled to be partnering with NationSwell to spread the word that everyone has a role to play in the service year movement.
