 Unifying America through our shared value of service over self

Donate

Why a museum?

Service to others has always been and will always be at the core of the American spirit and character - but there is no nationally designated place to recognize and honor service in all its forms.

 

America needs a place in our nation's capital to tell the full story of service  -  a designated, signature building where we can join together, learn, set aside our differences and be inspired by the countless examples of everyday Americans giving of themselves for the greater good.

"We believe that servant leaders in every community have the power to lift those in need and create impact that ultimately improves the quality of life for everyone in the community. Sharing this spirit of volunteerism with other nations may be one of the greatest exports the United States has provided with the rest of the world."
— Stan D. Soderstrom, Executive Director, Kiwanis International
