Presenter highlights California Service Corps as a growing pipeline with the Peace Corps, urges local leaders to expand service

A presenter outlined the growth of the California Service Corps and said the program now creates opportunities for more than 10,000 Californians annually. The presenter framed the initiative as part of a broader civic infrastructure intended to expand service options statewide.

The presenter pointed to a reciprocal recruitment pattern as evidence of the program’s reach: "They are signing up for the Peace Corps," the presenter said, and added that returned Peace Corps members are "Signing up for the California Service Corps." The presenter closed by urging listeners to advocate locally, saying people should "go home to your communities and talk to your mayors and your university presidents and your legislators and anyone who will listen about why they need to create more opportunities for people to serve in their community now."
