A resolution recognizing the contributions of AmeriCorps members and alumni and AmeriCorps Seniors volunteers in the lives of the people and communities of the United States.

Key Points

• This resolution is a formal way for the Senate to say "thank you" to the people who volunteer through AmeriCorps and AmeriCorps Seniors. It highlights the work they do in nearly 40,000 locations across the country, from helping after disasters to supporting local schools and protecting the environment.
• The document points out that about 200,000 people serve in these programs every year. Over the last 30 years, nearly 1.3 million people have participated, earning a combined total of more than $4.5 billion in credits to help pay for their college education or job training.
• The Senate is using this resolution to mark "AmeriCorps Week," which runs from March 9 to March 15, 2025. The goal is to encourage more Americans of all ages to look into volunteering and to celebrate the positive impact these programs have had on rural and urban communities over the last three decades.
