Community Service Commission announces Bicentennial Challenge

Posted

The Missouri Community Service Commission (MCSC) announced the Bicentennial Community Service Challenge. 

The Challenge encourages Missourians to volunteer for 200 hours this year in honor of the state’s 200th year of statehood. Those who complete the Challenge will receive a certificate for their service during Missouri’s bicentennial year.

According to AmeriCorps, more than 1.5 million Missourians volunteer each year, totaling more than 130 million hours of service. These hours are estimated to be worth billions of dollars in value for Missouri communities. Service projects can range from tutoring to disaster relief and more.

Missourians who wish to take part in the Bicentennial Community Service Challenge can download a volunteer form to track their progress throughout the year. Completed forms are due by Dec. 31 to be eligible for a certificate. Details on the challenge, including service opportunities, are available at ShowMeService.org.
