i did my americorps service at a place called bridging, where people got to shop for free for home goods when they had little to nothing.
abuse survivors, fire victims, people getting their first secure housing
silverware, cooking utensils—they were like gold. people got their first pan.

Personally, I think everyone should do something like Americorps it in order to get a really good grasp of wtf goes on in our country. Work in fast food. Serve your community. I did it in other ways, but jfc the blindness of some people.

Thrilled to kick off another Americorps #ServiceYear!
Last year AmeriCorps RI volunteers completed 140,000 service hours.
I’m grateful for your work and can’t wait to see what you accomplish this year. I'll always have your back in Congress.

I was on SNAP while I served in Americorps. It was touted as one of the benefits of Americorps
SNAP benefits are set to run out on Saturday. Far-right influencers and extremists are incorrectly claiming that immigrants are the main recipients of food stamps. www.wired.com/story/disinf...
No, SNAP Benefits Aren’t Mostly Used by Immigrants

Every fall, @AmeriCorps members take the pledge to get things done for America and Rhode Island.
I was proud to celebrate Opening Day with ServeRI and the 40+ new AmeriCorps members committing to a year of service in Providence.

As far as I’m concerned, they should get a stipend like AmeriCorps workers and Peace Corps workers do.

In fact, the government needs to get back in the business of giving a hand to anyone who needs a little help getting a career start - whether that’s college, trade school, AmeriCorps, etc. It’s nearly impossible for most young people today.

Mini rant time:
I got a recruiting email for an Americorps program that I am perfect for, filled out the interest form, and got an immediate rejection letter because I am TOO OLD!
What the fuck. 😭😭😭😭😭

some more notes
* Americorps cuts depleted our food bank workers overnight
* labor market collapsing causing even more strain
I don't see any better use of tax payer money than to feed ppl.
IDC about rightwing dumb and cruel memes, I live this and can see a failing system. Capitalism fails us

Challenge the administration’s cancellation of funds for clean energy infrastructure.
Stop the Trump administration’s cancellation of all federal funding for wind energy projects.
Protect AmeriCorps from being dismantled and dissolved by the Trump administration.

I was an exchange student and it set the course of my life! I think even a lottery might work. Maybe domestic exchange, maybe a proto Americorps gap year. Anything to get kids exposed to other lifeways.

yeah as an americorps alum myself there is *substantial* room for improvement but I really dislike the way that the programs are frequntly sneered at. funneling impressionable young people into public service is good, actually.
As someone who ran AmeriCorps programs for 8 years, there’s room for improvement but yeah these asshats need to fuck offffff

I miss Wellstone so much. One of the best parts of my Americorps year in Minnesota was him coming to speak to us 😢
Just thinking about how Paul Wellstone was a community organizer for twenty years before he ran for the senate as an insurgent outsider, and how he'd run a plausible—though losing—statewide race six years before his senate run.
You learn stuff in the trenches. You gain skills that serve you well.

i've been ranting about this for years. kids overworked in high school and rushed into expensive colleges with no real life experience. expand YCC and americorps! but beyond that: use those AP calculus brains and coding skills to help local/state governments!

Did you know the Oregon DOJ has a Federal Litigation Tracker on our website?
It includes the latest information about all our cases protecting Oregon’s values from federal overreach – including tariffs, education funding, AmeriCorps funding, and more.

When I served as an AmeriCorps member at a health center in the Bronx, the hardest part of screening for depression was asking about suicidality. My heart sank each time someone said yes, it meant finding another room for the police before calling 911. (1/2)

Buttigieg is doing the mirror image of what Vought and Rufo et al are trying to do: find the "off" switch for MAGA. I don't think it exists. But national service is definitely not that. Fund AmeriCorps, fund the Civilian Conservation Corps, even fund a new WPA. But keep those voluntary. /end

National service? Just Americorps style or a choice between the military or something like CCC? If it's the latter I think it's good because I would like to see more non-traditional people in the military. With CCC at least you can learn a trade. But I don't think that trumps SCOTUS reform.

AmeriCorps was a huge part of my career & life post homelessness. It opened doors for me & allowed me to connect my work & my ethics.
AmeriCorps is currently closed because of the govt shutdown.
My heart breaks for the current service members who are furloughed. They work so hard & deserve better.
