This resolution designates the second Friday in June as "National Service and Conservation Corps Day" to recognize the work of over 140 Service and Conservation Corps programs across the country. These programs serve approximately 22,000 young adults and veterans annually through education, workforce development, and community service projects in areas like conservation, disaster response, and infrastructure improvement. The resolution traces the legacy of these modern corps back to the Civilian Conservation Corps of the 1930s and emphasizes their current role in addressing public land maintenance, community resilience, and job training for young people facing unemployment. The resolution urges continued support and potential expansion of these programs under the National and Community Service Act of 1990 and highlights their contributions to civic engagement and public service as the United States approaches its 250th anniversary in 2026. No new funding is authorized by this resolution, as it is a ceremonial designation expressing Senate support rather than appropriating resources.
