Governor’s Advisory Commission on National Service and Volunteerism

Engage Arkansas is an Arkansas initiative to inspire and advance civic engagement to help combat social inequities and strengthen local communities. As the primary coordinating entity supporting the Governor’s Advisory Commission on National Service and Volunteerism, we are responsible for sustaining civic engagement by supporting local civic services, community education, and the promotion of partner program opportunities. Our staff advocates for such solutions and purposefully partners with government agencies, municipalities, education systems, and nonprofit or faith-based sectors to help create impact, benefiting communities and families statewide. The Engage Arkansas office is housed within the Division of Higher Education and is staffed to fulfill the role defined by its governor-appointed commission and the governor.
