For decades, AmeriCorps members and AmeriCorps Seniors volunteers have responded to our country's most immediate and critical needs. They are the “people power” that local nonprofit, faith-based, and community organizations rely on to deliver services and make a difference in local communities. While helping others, AmeriCorps Seniors volunteers experience a decrease in isolation and loneliness, and AmeriCorps members gain in-demand job skills and complete their service with increased employability and pathways to higher education, preparing them to succeed in the workforce.
Now, the Administration and the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) are taking steps that indicate a desire to dismantle AmeriCorps. By placing a large number of agency staff on administrative leave, AmeriCorps program operations, member enrollment and deployment, and grant disbursement could slow to a halt. The Administration has also issued stop work orders to AmeriCorps NCCC and FEMA Corps members. These actions effectively terminate critical resources that communities across all 50 states have depended on for three decades.
AmeriCorps funds respond to local needs and are largely administered by states, not the federal government, to keep state and local priorities front and center. At a time when states are experiencing significant natural disasters, increasing costs stemming from increased social service needs, workforce gaps, and more, AmeriCorps delivers urgently needed resources to support communities across the country.

AmeriCorps is at a critical crossroads.
Last week, DOGE visited @AmeriCorps. That visit has led to the abrupt “demobilization” of @AmeriCorpsNCCC and FEMA Corps members as reported by the Associated Press. On Wednesday night, hundreds of agency staff were placed on administrative leave, as reported by the Washington Post.
We are concerned that we are on the path to effectively dismantle AmeriCorps, a move that will jeopardize critical services in local communities.
For decades, #AmeriCorps members and AmeriCorps Seniors have responded to our country’s most critical needs —from disaster response to education, public health, and beyond. While helping others, AmeriCorps Seniors volunteers experience a decrease in isolation and loneliness, and AmeriCorps members gain in-demand job skills and complete their service with increased employability and pathways to higher education. #AmeriCorpsWorks—and we must protect these programs.
Take two minutes today to contact your lawmakers and tell them to protect AmeriCorps.

The future of #NationalService is in jeopardy.
On April 25th, nearly $400 million in @AmeriCorps grant funding was terminated, affecting over 1,000 local organizations and prematurely ending service for more than 32,000 AmeriCorps and AmeriCorps Seniors members.
These sudden cuts threaten vital services like disaster relief, education support, senior services, and workforce development across all 50 states.
AmeriCorps is a proven, cost-effective model that strengthens communities and builds civic leadership. Congress must act to protect it!
