AmeriCorps is in jeopardy.
Like so many other critical programs and services, AmeriCorps is at risk of being dismantled by DOGE, with programs shuttered and 85% of agency staff now on administrative leave.
As a result, nearly 40,000 communities across the nation may lose their capacity to combat hunger and homelessness, respond to natural disasters, tutor students, connect veterans to services, fight the opioid epidemic, and so much more.

Please take a minute to tell your members of Congress to protect AmeriCorps, using this tool from Voices for National Service.
It’s personal – for me and millions of others fighting to save AmeriCorps. Join us today.
