 AmeriCorps Announces Schools of National Service
|
|
As AmeriCorps prepared to launch Schools of National Service, nearly two dozen schools pledged their support, officially becoming among the latest schools to be named a School of National Service. They join the more than 200 higher education institutions who were already participating in AmeriCorps’ Segal AmeriCorps Education Award Matching Program and will now also officially be listed as Schools of National Service. This includes four-year institutions, community colleges, technical schools, and graduate programs.

Leaders from colleges and universities and AmeriCorps alumni will share their experiences of how higher education and national service work together to create opportunity nationwide. You can watch the event on the AmeriCorps Facebook page.
