“At this moment, at a time when people’s response to the political toxicity is to lean out, I’m asking you to lean in. At this moment, when the instinct is to retreat, I want you to step forward,” said Gov. Moore. “Engage in civic life. Engage in service. Because service will save us.”
In its first year, the Department of Service and Civic Innovation will place a minimum of 200 members in the Service Year Option or Maryland Corps. Each program offers a unique opportunity to explore a year of professional growth and career opportunities while earning a living wage, gaining new skills, and serving fellow Marylanders.
Participants will serve in state and local governments, nonprofits, schools and for-profit companies in sectors such as climate, education, community health, public service, building trade, information technology, and public safety.
More information about the Department of Service and Civic Innovation, Service Year Option, and Maryland Corps is available at dsci.maryland.gov.
