So this isn't my weekly post, I guess we will call this a supplemental post. I just wanted to take a quick moment to congratulate AmeriCorps on the celebration of its 20th birthday! Today is very exciting. Around the nation AmeriCorps members, alumni, and citizens will be participating in swearing in ceremonies. Below I've attached a couple of articles, YouTube videos, etc. about AmeriCorps, AmeriCorps VISTA, and why it is so important. Additionally, the upcoming year marks 50 years of AmeriCorps VISTA! Take a look and help us celebrate this important day!
