Save AmeriCorps District Meetings, June 2-6, 2025

In the month since DOGE began taking steps to dismantle AmeriCorps – terminating 40% of AmeriCorps grants, demobilizing AmeriCorps NCCC/FEMA Corps members, and laying off nearly 85% of the agency staff – we have been encouraged by the ways that communities are showing up to support AmeriCorps and AmeriCorps Seniors programs and members.

We are asking AmeriCorps programs and champions to organize local office meetings or site visits with senior staff for your members of Congress during the first week of June. AmeriCorps is an essential resource for your community. We need to make sure that congressional staff understand how AmeriCorps is making a difference on the ground.
