Timeline

1961

Alan Khazei (born May 28, 1961) is an American social entrepreneur.

He served as chief executive officer of City Year, an AmeriCorps national service program he co-founded with Michael Brown, his friend and roommate at Harvard College and Harvard Law School.

Khazei has led two unsuccessful campaigns for U.S. Senator from Massachusetts.

1979

In 1979, he graduated from St. Paul's School in Concord, New Hampshire, where he was president of his graduating class.

1983

He graduated from Harvard College with honors in 1983 and in 1987 from Harvard Law School with honors, where he was a member of the Harvard Legal Aid Bureau.

1988

In 1988, Khazei and his then–Harvard roommate Michael Brown founded City Year, a non-profit organization that offers 17- to 24-year-olds the opportunity to engage in 10 months of full-time community service.

Khazei and Brown envisioned that a year of national service could become a commonplace bridge between high school and college.

Under his leadership, CityYear grew to employ 1,000 corps members in 29 cities across the United States as well as in Johannesburg, South Africa and the United Kingdom.

1990

President George H. W. Bush appointed Khazei as vice-chair of the Commission on National and Community Service from 1990 to 1992.

He later worked with President Bill Clinton to establish AmeriCorps.

City Year, along with thousands of other non-profit organizations, is now a member of the AmeriCorps network.

2003

In June 2003, when AmeriCorps funding was cut by 80%, Khazei and other service leaders organized "Save AmeriCorps", a grassroots campaign culminating in a 100-hour hearing in the Capitol.

At this hearing, more than 700 AmeriCorps supporters testified.

The campaign led to half of the AmeriCorps funding being restored in 2003 and to full restoration plus a $100 million increase in 2004.

As a result of the increased funding, the AmeriCorps program was able to engage 25,000 more corps members.

2006

In 2006, U.S. News & World Report named Khazei one of "America's 25 Best Leaders" and The Boston Globe Magazine named him as one of "11 Bostonians Changing the World".

He is a recipient of the Reebok Human Rights Award, the Samuel S. Beard Jefferson Award for Public Service, the Caring Institute Award, the William Jefferson Clinton Award, the Jefferson Award for Public Service, and the Harvard Law School Association Outstanding Alumni Award.

2008

In 2008, Khazei organized ServiceNation, a summit event held in New York City on September 11, 2008 that featured then-presidential candidates Barack Obama and John McCain alongside over 700 other national service leaders.

He then worked with Senator Ted Kennedy on the Edward M. Kennedy Serve America Act, which authorizes the greatest expansion of national service in America since President Franklin D. Roosevelt created the Civilian Conservation Corps.

Khazei penned an article featured on The Huffington Post in April praising President Obama's signing of the new law, emphasizing the importance of "Big Citizenship over Big Government" and calling for a "New Patriotism" that looks to entrepreneurs and innovators in both the private and social sectors, forming new partnerships among government, the private sector, and the non-profit sector, all while taking advantage of modern technological advances that empower citizens and make government more effective and efficient.

Previously, Khazei had written an article for The Huffington Post on national service "not as a Democratic idea or a Republican idea... but as an American idea" and another arguing for a renewed emphasis on ideas in political races to replace the current emphasis on fundraising alone.

The NonProfit Times recognized Khazei as one of the 2008 "Executives of the Year" for his work in organizing ServiceNation.

He has received honorary degrees from Clark University, Hobart and William Smith Colleges, Northeastern University, Suffolk University, and Mount Ida College.

Khazei ran to fill the United States Senate seat left vacant by the death of Senator Edward M. Kennedy.

2009

He sought the Democratic Party's nomination for this seat in the Democratic primary on December 8, 2009.

He came in third, behind Congressman Mike Capuano and winner Massachusetts Attorney General Martha Coakley.

Khazei's campaign was the only campaign among the candidates for the Democratic primary that accepted donations only from private citizens.

The campaign did not accept donations from political action committees and lobbyists.

Khazei came in third place in the primary, earning 13% of the vote.

2010

He placed third in the Democratic primary in the 2010 special election, and withdrew from the primary in the 2012 election due to lack of funds and media attention after Elizabeth Warren got into the race.

2012

From 2012 to 2015, he served as the co-chair of the Leadership Council of the Franklin Project, a policy program of the Aspen Institute that sought to make a year of service a common opportunity and expectation for young Americans.

Khazei worked with General Stanley McChrystal and others to merge ServiceNation with the Franklin Project to create the Service Year Alliance dedicated to making a year of service a rite of passage for all young Americans.

Khazei has served on the board of multiple organizations including City Year, Global Zero, the Harvard Alumni Association, the Mass Service Alliance, New Profit, Inc., Sparkshare, Serve Next, Share Our Strength, and Teach For America.

He has also served on the advisory boards of the Ad Council, America's Promise, the Leadership Council of Boston Medical Center, the Center for Public Leadership at the John F. Kennedy School of Government, and the Partnership for Public Service.

Khazei also serves as a commissioner on the National Commission on Military, National, and Public Service.

Additionally, he founded Democracy Entrepreneurs, which promotes new change agents who are inventing new ways to engage people in our democracy, and Be the Change, Inc., a Boston-based group dedicated to building national coalitions of non-profit organizations and citizens that promoted advancing issues of national service, fighting poverty and empowering veterans.
