We’re honored that America Forward and the Serve America Act were recently featured in the Leader to Leader Institute’s Innovation of the Week newsletter!

In the profile, America Forward’s Director Kelly Ward explains the importance of creating dialogue around the role of government in the nonprofit sector:

“Imagine three legs on a stool. The first leg is the innovation, proven solutions that achieve measurable impact on tough social problems; the second leg is the human capital – national service, volunteers, and citizens who do the hard work; the third is the role of government, where growth and catalytic capital reside to bring these solutions to the communities that need them most.”

The Leader to Leader Institute strives to chart the future path for the social sector to become the equal partner of business and government in developing responsible leaders, caring citizens, and a healthy, diverse and inclusive society.
