AmeriCorps Works in Virginia

This year, we’re celebrating AmeriCorps Week from March 9-15, to recognize and thank the AmeriCorps members and AmeriCorps Seniors volunteers who raise their hands to help when needed. From a pioneering group of 20,000 Americans who first raised their hands to serve, AmeriCorps has grown into a nationwide force for positive change, making a difference in lives.

Join with Serve Virginia as we celebrate and offer thanks to members, volunteers, and alumni who have committed billions of hours of results-driven service, creating lasting impact in communities nationwide.
