Every year, AmeriCorps enrolls over 270,000
individuals to serve organizations making a
difference in communities across America.
Since the program’s founding in 1994, more than 900,000 AmeriCorps
members have contributed more than 1.2 billion hours in service across
America while tackling pressing problems and mobilizing millions of
volunteers for the organizations they serve.
AmeriCorps programs do more than move communities forward; they serve
their members by creating jobs and providing pathways to opportunity for
young people entering the workforce. AmeriCorps places thousands of young
adults into intensive service positions where they learn valuable work
skills, earn money for education, and develop an appreciation for citizenship.
