#AmeriCorps constitutes 0.02% of the federal budget and mobilizes over 200,000 AmeriCorps members and volunteers across the United States each year.

We run food pantries, we prevent forest fires, we teach children to read - and DOGE wants to shut us down.

How does this help America?

The future of the agency is threatened, which threatens the well-being of millions of Americans.

Without AmeriCorps Seniors, thousands of older Americans will be left alone and vulnerable. Tens of thousands of kids will lose mentors, tutors, and role models.

April 9th, DOGE entered the AmeriCorps Offices. On April 15th, they forcibly returned NCCC Members from their service projects at tremendous cost. On April 16th, 85% of AmeriCorps staff were placed on administrative leave.

Contracts canceled.
Lives uprooted.
Americans left to fend for themselves.
The entire AmeriCorps agency has been placed on administrative leave
