How do you Serve DC?

Serve DC is the District of Columbia Government agency dedicated to promoting service as an innovative, sustainable solution to meet community needs. With grant funds from the Corporation for National and Community Service and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, Serve DC supports District communities by facilitating public, private and government partnerships, engaging residents in meaningful service opportunities, providing free trainings and resources, and helping community-based organizations strengthen their capacity to address the social challenges we face as a city and a nation.
