What is Ameri Corps?

The national service movement that engages thousands of men and women of all ages and backgrounds in service often referred to as the domestic Peace Corps, aimed at meeting the needs in the areas of Education, Public Safety, Environment, and Human Services. Ameri Corps is much more than a service program. It is a movement that unites Americans to improve our neighborhoods and our lives.

In communities large and small throughout America, Ameri Corps Members are taking responsibility, learning valuable skills, and helping their friends and neighbors and Getting Things Done! Ameri Corps is part of a tradition of service, and it represents America at its best - making a lasting difference while promoting the values of community, responsibility, and opportunity.
