Members recruit other responders from the community.
AmeriCorps members serve through local agencies that enable diverse faith groups to cooperate together for the common good of the community. Members provide service for children, youth, their families, the elderly and the poor. Their mission is to recruit and train recent college graduates to serve as school teachers in the most under-resourced elementary and secondary schools in the South and Southwest. The members in Louisiana serve the communities of Baton Rouge, Lake Charles, Napoleonville, and Shreveport.
