Generation Fund. AmeriCorps also 

supports volunteerism through 

National Days of Service, including 

9/11 Day and MLK Day.

Education

Our members and volunteers support 

students in public, private, and charter 

schools across the country. Through 

our work, we improve attendance 

and engagement, increase highschool graduation rates and expand 

college enrollment. 

Disaster Response

When disaster strikes, we repair 

homes, assist survivors and help 

restore communities when it matters 

most. We have deployed thousands 

of members and volunteers to areas 

affected by hurricanes, wildfires, 

floods, and tornadoes.

Healthy Futures

We provide independent living 

services to more than 310,000 

elderly Americans. We also build the 

capacity of food banks, combat the 

opioid crisis, tackle homelessness, 

and address food insecurity.

Economic Opportunity

Our programs serve as a pathway to 

employment opportunities and help 

develop vital work skills. We build 

and rehabilitate affordable housing, 

provide financial literacy training, 

and connect people to jobs.

Environmental Stewardship

We serve on projects that cover 

thousands of acres of public lands 

across America—including many 

with the National Park Service. 

We help conserve natural habitats, 

protect clean air and water, and 

reduce utility bills by improving 

home energy efficiency.

Veterans

We provide assistance to more than 

245,000 veterans and military families 

by connecting them to education 

opportunities, jobs, and the benefits 

they have earned. Many veterans 

also volunteer with us so they can 

continue to serve their country.

tackle their toughest 

challenges.
