Service Never Sleeps is based on an "Eight-Hour Dream" concept that Whitney developed: If she went to bed amidst the current state of social injustice, and a fraction of society did something small to make a difference, she would wake up after a full night's sleep to witness tremendous social change. Whitney gathered a team in January 2015 and went full-time with Service Never Sleeps that fall, after receiving the opportunity to be incubated by the Aspen Institute. Service Never Sleeps became an independent nonprofit in Fall 2016, launching a yearlong Fellowship of part-time service for millennial professionals through a corporate partnership model to facilitate service opportunities and a community Allyship training for their employees.
