"People who love their country can change it. That is the genius of America. That is the promise of AmeriCorps. It’s one of the reasons I am so committed to this program, and why I’m so hopeful about the future."
-- President Barack Obama, September 12, 2014
What an amazing day. From the White House to communities across the nation, AmeriCorps members pledged to get things done.
Four Presidents and leaders all across America saluted the impact of AmeriCorps and welcomed a new class of dedicated, inspired members.
So much happened today! We're thrilled by the outpouring of support and recognition for national service. The President's announcements of Employers of National Service and new partnerships to expand AmeriCorps will take our work to even greater heights.
Here are some things you need to see:
 
|
-- Watch the video from the White House event with President Obama and President Clinton
-- View a special message from President George W. Bush and Laura Bush, and another from President Clinton.
-- See photos from pledge ceremonies at the White House and across the country.
-- Read the post on the White House blog, which includes President Obama's full remarks.
