Well done to Palmetto Conservation Corps, a new SC-based program through the Palmetto Conservation Foundation. Right after orientation, their first crew got to work helping with the Hurricane Matthew response. #AmeriCorps Corporation for National and Community Service

Corps exist to give back - to communities, to young people, to our public lands. Every Tuesday throughout November (leading up to #GivingTuesday on 11/29) we're going to feature a different way to Give. So here's idea #1: Share why you give back - you just might inspire someone else to to give, too. #thecorpsnetwork

In case you missed it, here's our blog we posted last Thursday during #OpportunityWeek about our support for the recent Opportunity Nation report, which lists solid recommendations for policies & actions that can expand opportunities for millions of young Americans. #Nationalservice can play a big role in helping put opportunity youth on a pathway to education and meaningful employment. Thank you Opportunity Nation for your leadership on this important issue.

#HispanicHeritageMonth recently came to a close, but we wanted to be sure to highlight the impact made in our communities and parks by young people of Hispanic heritage serving in Corps. Today's Corpsmembers are tomorrow's more diverse generation of conservation and community leaders. Thank you Fresno EOC Local Conservation Corps, Santa Fe YouthWorks and LA Conservation Corps for sharing these stories.

A big thank you to the companies that signed the White House #FirstJob Hiring & Recruiting Compact. We need to invest in our people. There are over 5.5 million Opportunity Youth in the United States; they all have the potential to be fantastic employees and leaders. #OYN Opportunity Nation

These 4th graders are tomorrow's conservation and community leaders. We fully support making sure they have access to safe, fun outdoor activities.

#FlashbackFriday Some of you may remember that, before we were The Corps Network, we were the National Association of Service and Conservation Corps (NASCC). To celebrate 1 million AmeriCorps members, here's one of our old NASCC A*C patches!

48,707! That's the number of AmeriCorps members that have been enrolled through The Corps Network since 2000. And our member Corps have enrolled many thousands more through other #AmeriCorps grants! We are so thrilled to help celebrate the 1-millionth A*C member and can't wait to help engage the next million! #ThanksAMillion #1of1million Corporation for National and Community Service AmeriCorps Alums Voices for National Service

#ThanksAMillion Secretary Jewell and U.S. Department of the Interior for your support of AmeriCorps and the #21CSC! Corpsmembers are so important to helping keep our public lands safe and accessible
