Currently, more than 25,000 AmeriCorps members serve in over 430 programs across the country. Just starting its third year, AmeriCorps is the newest chapter in America's long tradition of national service. National Direct members are sponsored by national, state, and local nonprofit organizations. In order to meet the specific needs of the communities they serve, local AmeriCorps sponsors recruit and train AmeriCorps members themselves. The Corporation for National Service oversees AmeriCorps.
Members generally work individually, rather than in teams.
Also, stop by the Wesleyan Office of Community Services for brochures and information. There are also recorded messages that discuss a variety of general topics related to the education award. The Buttonwood Tree would like to announce several volunteer opportunities. The following information can help you determine whether you would like to help out and in what capacity. Perhaps a newsletter will grow out of the Stardust Lounges for those who cannot attend.
