AMERICORPS WEEK 2024: CELEBRATE MILLIONS OF AMERICANS WHO ANSWERED THE CALL TO
SERVICE

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Mar 11, 2024

The annual week-long celebration of AmeriCorps members, alumni, AmeriCorps
Seniors volunteers and programs begins Sunday, March 10

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

WASHINGTON, DC— March 10-16, AmeriCorps, the federal agency for national service
and volunteerism, celebrates AmeriCorps Week, a week-long celebration observed
during AmeriCorps 30th Anniversary, recognizing AmeriCorps programs and offers
thanks to millions of members and volunteers for uniting in service. This year’s
AmeriCorps Week theme, ‘AmeriCorps is not a moment; it’s a movement,’
demonstrates the hundreds of thousands of members and volunteers, and the
millions of alumni who have committed to getting things done for America.

For the past three decades, AmeriCorps alumni, members and volunteers have
become the next generation’s thought leaders, innovators and changemakers in
global corporations, national social good organizations and public service
fields. More than 1.3 million Americans and hundreds of thousands more
AmeriCorps Seniors volunteers of all backgrounds have followed in their
footsteps since then, providing billions of hours of results-driven service
across each of the 50 states and US territories.

In September 2023, AmeriCorps celebrated the 30th anniversary of President Bill
Clinton signing the National and Community Trust Act to establish AmeriCorps.
More than 1.3 million AmeriCorps members and hundreds of thousands of AmeriCorps
Seniors volunteers have taken that same pledge and served in communities large
and small to help others live healthier, safer, smarter and more resilient lives
while enhancing their own skills and earning money for their education 30 years
later.

In the last year, AmeriCorps programs have increased efforts and achieved
significant strides to meet community needs and to make service more accessible:

 

 * AmeriCorps launched the first major interagency partnership under President
   Biden’s American Climate Corps. In partnership with the US Forest Service,
   AmeriCorps members will help national forests and grasslands, mitigate risks
   of wildfires in high-risk regions and support reforestation efforts and
   wildfire crisis response.
 * AmeriCorps Seniors and the US Administration for Community Living entered
   into a Memorandum of Understanding to significantly increase the number of
   volunteers, including older adults and people with disabilities, engaged in
   service activities.
 * AmeriCorps VISTA invested more than $37 million in federal funding to support
   more than 2,000 new AmeriCorps members across more than 44 states and
   territories to expand capacity in organizations that alleviate poverty and
   build economic opportunity through community-driven efforts.
 * AmeriCorps State and National made a $444 million investment to more than 350
   organizations to support more than 42,000 members in addressing community
   challenges.
 * AmeriCorps' Disaster Response teams and AmeriCorps NCCC are actively
   responding to communities affected by wildfires in New Mexico and Hawaii,
   among other disasters.

 

"For thirty years, AmeriCorps members and AmeriCorps Seniors volunteers have
been a vital resource for communities and families in greatest need,” said
Michael D. Smith, CEO, AmeriCorps. “During AmeriCorps week, we celebrate those
who answer the call to service, helping our children reach their full potential,
our neighborhoods rebuild after disaster and families find hope in the midst of
hardship.”

This week, Smith will embark on a whistle stop tour, traveling by train to
AmeriCorps program sites in the northeast to celebrate the achievements of
members and volunteers nationwide. As the country’s chief service officer, he
also will lead national activities throughout the week:

 

Monday, March 11

This AmeriCorps Week, AmeriCorps celebrates the millions of Americans ages 18
and older, who have served with AmeriCorps and AmeriCorps Seniors programs. In
nearly 40,000 locations right now, more than 200,000 people serve as members or
volunteers across all 50 states and territories. To join the celebration, follow
AmeriCorps on Facebook, X and Instagram, and join the conversation by sharing
pictures and stories on your own accounts, using #AmeriCorpsWeek.  

AmeriCorps, the federal agency for national service and volunteerism, provides
opportunities for Americans to serve their country domestically, address the
nation’s most pressing challenges, improve lives and communities, and strengthen
civic engagement. Each year, the agency places more than 200,000 AmeriCorps
members and AmeriCorps Seniors volunteers in intensive service roles; and
empowers millions more to serve as long-term, short-term, or one-time
volunteers. Learn more at AmeriCorps.gov.

AmeriCorps offers opportunities for individuals of all backgrounds to be a part
of the national service community, grow personally and professionally, and
receive benefits for their service. Learn how to get involved at
AmeriCorps.gov/Serve.
