Georgia Serves is excited to celebrate AmeriCorps Week - March 12-18. 

During AmeriCorps Week, we celebrate AmeriCorps members and AmeriCorps Seniors volunteers who get things done for America, support local organizations that address urgent needs, and encourage others to follow in their footsteps of service.  This year's theme is United We Serve. We applaud all the AmeriCorps programs serving in Georgia and offer our thanks to members and volunteers for uniting in service to make an impact in their community, foster a sense of constructive action, civic participation, and belonging.  

Since 1994, more than 24,000 Georgia residents have served approximately 36 million hours and earned education awards totaling more than $85.1 million.

Check out the Georgia Service Report to read more about the profound impact AmeriCorps and AmeriCorps Seniors programs, members, and volunteers make in the state, to change and improve countless lives through the power of service.

The annual celebration of AmeriCorps members, alumni, AmeriCorps Seniors volunteers, and programs began March 13. From March 13-19, AmeriCorps, the federal agency for national service and volunteerism, will celebrate AmeriCorps Week, and the millions of Americans who have pledged to “get things done” for America through AmeriCorps and AmeriCorps Seniors. The annual celebration recognizes Americans who choose to serve their country through AmeriCorps and the community partners who help make that happen, while also encouraging more Americans to follow their footsteps in service. 

Throughout last year, AmeriCorps continued to fight the COVID-19 pandemic, implemented new resources through the American Rescue Plan, launched Public Health AmeriCorps in partnership with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and united the country on two national days of service: MLK Day and the 20th anniversary of 9/11 Day. 

This AmeriCorps Week, AmeriCorps celebrates the millions of Americans ages 18 to 65+, who have served with AmeriCorps and AmeriCorps Seniors. Right now, there are 250,000 people serving as members or volunteers in over 40,000 locations across all 50 states and territories. To join the celebration, follow AmeriCorps on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, and join the conversation by sharing pictures and stories on Twitter, using #AmeriCorpsWeek.
