| AmeriCorps Week 2011 |
|
Event Date: Every day across the nation AmeriCorps members are having a powerful impact on the most critical issues facing our nation – solving problems, strengthening communities, and improving the lives of our most vulnerable citizens. AmeriCorps Week is a recruitment and recognition event designed to bring more Americans into service, salute AmeriCorps members and alums for their powerful impact, and thank the community partners who make AmeriCorps possible. AmeriCorps Week provides an opportunity for AmeriCorps members, alums, grantees, program partners, and friends to shine a spotlight on the work done by members in communities across the country -- and to motivate more AmeriCorps to join AmeriCorps or volunteer in their communities. AmeriCorps Week events are happening across the country. They include statewide AmeriCorps gatherings, award ceremonies, "AmeriCorps for a Day" events with local VIPs, community service projects, recruitment fairs, and more. The theme of this year’s AmeriCorps Week is My AmeriCorps Story.  |
