This year in Indiana, there are projects going on all over the state to celebrate both the commitment and impact of AmeriCorps members on their communities. If you are taking part in an AmeriCorps Week activity post about it on Facebook and/or Twitter. You can use #AmeriCorpsWeek, and @INOFBCI to let everyone know what's going on.
What is AmeriCorps Week?
Each year during AmeriCorps Week, we recognize the commitment of AmeriCorps members and alums by highlighting the extraordinary impact AmeriCorps makes across our nation every day. This year, AmeriCorps Week will take place from Saturday, March 10 through Sunday, March 18, 2012.
The two main goals for AmeriCorps Week 2012 include:
- Connect AmeriCorps members and alums with each other so they feel they are a part of a nationwide effort.
- Communicate AmeriCorps’ powerful impact on critical problems and on the lives of its members and alums.
The theme this year, AmeriCorps Works, communicates the
value and effectiveness of AmeriCorps while providing flexibility to be
used in many different contexts. It provides an overarching framework
to communicate AmeriCorps triple bottom line return on investment -- for
the recipients of service, the people who serve, and the larger
community and nation.Everyday across the nation AmeriCorps members are tackling America's toughest problems in:
- Disaster Services
- Economic Opportunity
- Education
- Environmental Stewardship
- Healthy Futures
- Veterans and Military Families
