Dear Team,
I wanted to bring to your attention an important development regarding AmeriCorps funding. Some of you might have heard thatThe House of Representatives has proposed a bill that, if passed, would eliminate funding for AmeriCorps and AmeriCorps NCCC. This could result in the loss of over 71,000 AmeriCorps positions. Legislators may make a decision as soon as this Wednesday, so it is crucial to take action now.
Please take a moment to sign the petition to oppose this bill. You can access the petition here.
On a positive note, I want to reassure you that our AmeriCorps funding is secured for the upcoming program year (PY24-PY25). While the proposed bill could impact PY26, all AmeriCorps positions are secured for the upcoming program year.
Thank you for your attention and prompt action on this matter.
