About the State Service Plan
Beginning in 1997, the requirement to develop a State Service Plan presented an opportunity for state commissions to exercise inclusive leadership. The National and Community Service Trust Act requires that a plan “be developed through an open and public process that provides for maximum participation and input from national service programs within the state and other interested members of the public.”
The State Service Plan serves as a vehicle for creating a broad vision for promoting national service and volunteering and for building a solid infrastructure of high-quality service programs and support services. The plan is intended to be a blueprint for identifying state priorities, themes, and areas of emphasis among all streams of service.
According to SEC. 178. [42 U.S.C. 12638] State Commissions on National and Community Service, a State Service Plan must cover three years and be updated annually. As the 2022–2025 State Plan approaches expiration, the Serve New Mexico Commission is currently drafting a new plan.
