For decades, AmeriCorps has worked to make service to others an indispensable part of the American experience. Through our nation’s most trying times, AmeriCorps has come together to help those in need.
AmeriCorps engages more than 80,000 Americans in intensive service each year at thousands of sites across the country. Since the program’s founding in 1994, more than 1 million AmeriCorps members have contributed more than 1.4 billion hours in service across America, while tackling pressing problems and mobilizing more than 2.3 million volunteers for the organizations they serve.
