In two chapters, this report describes the objectives of the Coalition for National Service, a group of individuals and organizations that support state and local youth service initiatives, foster discussion and debate on national service, and endorse a national service action agenda. Chapter 1 gives a brief overview of the status of, and perspectives on, national service. The information comes almost entirely from presentations made at the Wingspread Conference of the Coalition for National Service in July 1988. Chapter 2 describes an action agenda for the 1990s. (JAM)
