    Gpvernor's Service RecognitionsThe Governor’s Service Recognitions are presented to programs and individuals participating in organizations funded by the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS) through AmeriCorps, Senior Corps, and Learn and Serve America. This event provides an opportunity to recognize organizations and individuals that help solve serious social issues and help strengthen their community through service.

    The Madison College team was nominated for their support of Operation Fresh Start’s educational programming in assisting disconnected youth in developing the broad skills needed for successful employability, exposing them to the career track concept, and linking them to credentialing programs of their choice. The support has assisted Operation Fresh Start’s youth with the transition into college-level courses by molding Madison College’s already established programming to better fit the needs of the AmeriCorps members. 

    Madison College has been a close partner with Operation Fresh Start and has supported its graduates as they transitioned to part-time or full-time enrollment. Operation Fresh Start AmeriCorps members come from diverse backgrounds.
