On Friday October 22, more than 100
AmeriCorps and AmeriCorps* VISTA members were sworn-in for 1 year
of full time service. This event also commemorates the 10th
Anniversary of the Corporation for National and Community
Service.
Since 1994, the Corporation’s
AmeriCorps program has engaged millions of Americans of every age
and walk of life in volunteer service to meet vital needs in
communities throughout the country.
AmeriCorps members are making a difference in
New Hampshire communities by serving in the following programs;
PlusTime NH, NH Parks AmeriCorps, Victims Assistance Program, NH
Reads and City Year NH. AmeriCorps members advocate for victims of
domestic violence, promote safe positive out of school activities
for children, conserving NH trails, and promoting literacy in young
children. Members serve full time for 1 year and in exchange
receive a modest living allowance and an education
award.
