What is AmeriCorps?
AmeriCorps is a network of local, state, and national service programs that connects more than 50,000 Americans each year in intensive service to meet our country’s critical needs in education, public safety, health, and the environment.

Through their service and the volunteers they mobilize, AmeriCorps members address critical needs in communities throughout America.
