American Recovery and
Reinvestment Act of 2009
 The
American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Recovery
Act), signed into law by President Obama on February 17th,
includes $201 million in funding for the Corporation for
National and Community Service to support an expansion of
AmeriCorps State and National and AmeriCorps VISTA programs.
This investment is a strong vote of confidence in the value
of national service in engaging citizens in addressing unmet
needs and strengthening communities. For decades,
national service programs have worked in our most vulnerable
communities, providing hope and help to people facing
economic and social needs. Today, as the economic downturn
puts millions of Americans at risk, we need national service
and volunteering more than ever. >
