We are thrilled to announce the release of the National Museum and Center for Service (NMCFS) 2026-2029 Strategic Plan. Over the next three years, we are embarking on an ambitious journey to build a national movement, advance our signature space strategy in Washington, D.C., and strengthen our institutional capacity for sustainable growth.
At the very heart of this strategic roadmap are our guiding stars: our mission and our vision. Everything we have planned—from growing a network of School, Community and Campus Museums to planning a permanent national space—is built upon this foundation.
Our Mission
Inspiring hope and connection by making service to others visible and valued in all its forms.
Our Vision
A nation united through service.
Why does this matter? Why is it so crucial to ensure that the American culture of service to others is seen, honored, and celebrated in every community? Watch the video below to hear more about why making service visible and valued is at the core of everything we do.

This is just a brief introduction to where we are headed. By 2029, NMCFS aims to be recognized nationally for advancing the American culture of service to others through our growing community network, a pilot signature space in Washington, DC, and scalable models like the Communities of Service designation.
