National Week of Service

May 7-13, 2023

As part of their annual program of work, SkillsUSA asks all chapters to conduct and promote a community-service project during the National Week of Service, May 7-13, 2023. This helps commemorate the founding of SkillsUSA (May 8, 1965).

We want to showcase your event!

Connect with SkillsUSA via social media by posting photos of your activities online. Advisors should email a brief description of their chapter’s events to Gayle Silvey at gsilvey@skillsusa.org. In return, we’ll send the chapter advisor or officer a SkillsUSA logo gift item valued at $15 to say thanks.

Publicize Your Event Locally

We encourage participants to publicize your events locally. To locate media resources for your community, including contact information for area newspapers, use our SkillsUSA Advocacy Site. On the site, first click on Media, enter your ZIP code, and choose up to six outlets at a time. Then click on “Send a Message.” To see the full contact information for each outlet, click on the name of the newspaper.
