As a past chair of CitizenCorps Council thru North Central Texas Council of Governments we strived to close the barriers of jurisdictions, enabling teams not only to collaborate on training and drills, but also opening the doors to each others jurisdictions.
Eric Schwarz from Citizen Schools, Lucy Friedman from TASC, Dan Cardinali from Communities In Schools, and Lester Strong from Experience Corps discussed the way that national and community service brings much needed talent and leadership to schools, while boosting academic achievement.
