An Update on the Future of ServiceYear.org

After more than eight years of impact, ServiceYear.org will officially pause operation on October 1, 2024. Through this wind down, our active support for the site will pause and functionality including the platform’s interactive portal will no longer be available to prospective and current service year applicants, host organizations, and service year alums. 

We’re committed to working with you through this transition. Visit our FAQ to learn more about steps you can take to prepare. 

This platform was established in 2015 with a simple purpose: to connect young people interested in doing a service year with paid service year opportunities. With your support and collaboration, we’ve been able to deliver on that promise, including helping enable more than 98,000 applications across 54,000 service year opportunities at over 600 host organizations. 

We’re endlessly grateful for your engagement with the platform and incredibly proud of all that we’ve accomplished together.

Regardless of where you are on your service year journey, Service Year Alliance will continue to be here for you. Here’s what you can expect from us:

  • We’ll pursue innovations around the corps member experience, like our current efforts in Bridging, climate, and workforce development, so that we can help create even more powerful pathways for the next generation.
  • We’ll empower the national service field by unlocking additional federal and state resources.
  • We’ll continue to demonstrate the impact of service on those who serve through the stories and voices of service year alums.

Thank you for helping make the platform a launching point for so many service years and an essential resource for host organizations and alums alike, and to identify and lift up valuable recruitment learnings for the service year field. There’s still so much to be done to make service years a common expectation and opportunity for all young Americans. We look forward to working with you to make this vision a reality.
