COVID-19 Update: Helping the Nation Today, Ready to Help Tomorrow
As communities face the challenges posed by COVID-19, AmeriCorps and AmeriCorps Seniors programs across the country have acted quickly and creatively to continue their critical work in new ways or to pivot to meet emerging needs. Nationwide, our volunteers are playing an important role in disaster response, promoting food security and economic opportunity, and strengthening education.
Your generous donation will support important work in the following areas:
