To assist you with planning and carrying out this event, we have created a downloadable Community Service Guide and Community Service Checklist and provide you with customizable media releases, PSAs and Thank You Letters to help generate publicity for your service event.

We want to showcase your event!
The first 50 advisors who submit a National Week of Service project report to the national office by May 15, 2008 will receive a SkillsUSA logo canvas briefcase. Photos are also appreciated. Send your reports and photographs to Karen Perrino at kperrino@skillsusa.org.
