1000 New Veteran and Military Family Focused AmeriCorps Members for 2012!

07.02.2012 - In continuing collaboration with the Got Your 6 campaign, the Corporation for National and Community Service has announced an expanded commitment to support veterans and military families at the community level with new grants awarded last week to ten organizations and more than twenty-five sub-grantees that will support more than 1,000 new AmeriCorps and AmeriCorps VISTA members dedicated to serving veterans and military families in the Got Your 6 six pillars.

From expanded grants to increased “people power” at organizations that serve them, CNCS is the federal agency that leads President Obamas National Call to Service and has made the largest investment to date in funding local non-profits and state organizations with national service solutions for veterans and their families. In making the announcement at the National Conference on Volunteering and Service, the new CEO, Wendy Spencer punctuated her remarks with the growing call to action – “With this unprecedented investment, we definitely got your 6!”

These efforts will include serious multi-year investments in each of the Got Your 6 pillars: read more>>>
