Summary

National Year of the Volunteer — this resolution would designate 2026 as the National Year of the Volunteer and link the observance to the United States' 250th anniversary to encourage a nationwide renewal of civic service. It honors the millions who volunteer in public safety, health, education, and civic life, notes that volunteers contribute billions of dollars in service while national volunteer rates have fallen, and urges federal, state, and local efforts along with nonprofits, schools, veterans' groups, civic associations, and companies to promote volunteer opportunities and invite Americans to take part.
