                    National Volunteer Week is April 17-23



America is a country built on service. From our earliest days, Americans have stepped forward to help neighbors and tackle our toughest challenges. During National Volunteer Week, April 17-23, AmeriCorps shines a light on the enduring contributions of volunteers and encourages all Americans to discover their own power to make a difference.

You're invited to celebrate with us. Visit our website for more information and follow the digital conversation about National Volunteer Week and the days leading up to it on AmeriCorps' Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and LinkedIn.
                  How to Celebrate

      **Encourage volunteering in your community.**

Join AmeriCorps and encourage your networks to give the gift of time. Show up for your communities and neighbors, make service a goal, and make a difference. Promote finding volunteer opportunities on AmeriCorps Volunteer Search.

      **Take action on Earth Day.**

      





Take action on Earth Day
        Earth Day also happens during National Volunteer Week. Encourage your networks to take action for a greener and cleaner future by volunteering.

Promote finding volunteer opportunities on the AmeriCorps Volunteer Search and using the special "Earth Day" checkbox for opportunities happening specifically to support the environment and climate efforts.

      **Promote two national days of service.**

America's two national days of service are MLK Day and the 9/11 Day of Service and Remembrance. These national days of service bring the country together with people volunteering simultaneously across the nation. Encourage your networks to serve during the months of September and January.

**Say thank you.**

Share why you are thankful for volunteers on social media with posts or videos. Express your thanks to those making a difference in your communities.
