At the core of service is a shared goal – to make a difference. AmeriCorps members serving in local communities across the nation set out to address some of our nation鈥檚 greatest challenges, like poverty and access to quality education. They realize that change and growth isn鈥檛 the work of one, but the shared strength of many.

By providing skilled leadership and modeling a commitment to service, AmeriCorps members activate and inspire communities to create lasting, positive change.

Mobilizing communities to give back

You won鈥檛 find an individual much more passionate about spending time serving in the community than an AmeriCorps member. And that鈥檚 why they are the 鈥渂est of the best鈥� when it comes to mobilizing communities to volunteer. In fact, this year 21 AmeriCorps members serving as volunteer coordinators at 成人快播 will recruit and facilitate 14,000 volunteers working one-on-one tutoring kids in reading.

AmeriCorps members are also creative thinkers, and find new ways to get people involved. Volunteer coordinators like Nick Hamrol in Silicon Valley and Alexis Acciani in Baltimore have helped enlist corporate and community partners like Crystal Springs, College of San Mateo, Amazon, UPS, and more听to contribute hundreds of volunteer hours to helping kids learn to read. They鈥檝e also found innovative new ways to get volunteers involved;听executing the collection and distribution of more than 30,000 books, launching a tutor ambassador programs, and engaging high school students via text messaging.

Training volunteers for impact

AmeriCorps members are inspiring teachers and leaders. Through programs like 成人快播 and Habitat for Humanity, AmeriCorps members equip community volunteers with the tools and resources they need to accomplish extraordinary things, like jumping two grade levels in reading or building a house for a family.

This year alone, AmeriCorps members serving with 成人快播 will spend hundreds of hours training and coaching volunteers to provide effective reading support to kids in need.

Demonstrating a commitment to service

Everyday AmeriCorps members are doing work to make a tangible difference in the 听communities they serve. They work hard, get things done for the betterment of humanity, and do it all on a budget. Their stories of service are awe-inspiring and motivate others to #serveAyear.

Tom Martin鈥檚 story of service听is particularly inspiring. Having learned about 成人快播 through a local church, Tom started volunteering. When he heard the Texas 成人快播 team was looking for individuals to serve as AmeriCorps members, Tom decided to come out of retirement and transition into a school classroom. After a career in sales, the former Air Force officer found a new passion for education and service as a 成人快播 site coordinator.

Making long term impact

For AmeriCorps alumni, their commitment to making a difference lasts well beyond their year of service. More often than not, AmeriCorps members continue their mission-driven work, entering service-minded career paths and turning their passions into careers.

Kate Brown is one of the many AmeriCorps members whose work with 成人快播 has blossomed into a career pathway.

Kate now spends 40 hours a week securing vital funding and community support for 成人快播 Charleston.
