Celebrate AmeriCorps Week During
 'Day of the A'

New resources available to help you celebrate

Join us for Day of the A: Thursday, March 17

Show off your AmeriCorps gear – new logo, old logo – it doesn’t matter! Don your favorite tee, break out your old baseball cap, or show off your AmeriCorps-themed arts and crafts project. Take a photo and share it on your personal social media channels in honor of the #DayoftheA. Don't forget to tag @AmeriCorps and use the hashtag #DayoftheA in your posts.

AmeriCorps Week is March 13-19

Day of the A is just one small piece of the AmeriCorps Week celebration. We will recognize the commitment of the millions of Americans who have chosen to serve their country through AmeriCorps and AmeriCorps Seniors, and encourage others to follow in their footsteps of service.

This year's theme is Together, we are AmeriCorps.
Service brings people together and bridges divides, and that's what our members, volunteers, and programs do each and every day. From local leaders and elected officials – to partners and grantees – to current members, volunteers, and alumni – we invite all to participate in the weeklong celebration. 

Visit our website for more information and follow the digital conversation about AmeriCorps Week and the days leading up to it on AmeriCorps' Facebook, Twitter,  Instagram, and LinkedIn. 

Below are updated communications resources, messaging, and engagement ideas.

2022 National Service Reports Available

Don't miss this year’s National Service Reports, reflecting the profound impact AmeriCorps and AmeriCorps Seniors programs, members, and volunteers make in the states and territory of the United States, to change and improve countless lives through the power of service. 

Each year, AmeriCorps scours thousands of data points to compile our National Service Reports. The results are a snapshot of national service programs and the total investment by AmeriCorps in communities across the country. These statistics are available to share using the downloadable graphics which accompany each report. 

To learn more about the impact of service in your state or community, please visit the impact page of our website to view and download your state’s National Service Report. Social media graphics are available for download through our Social Press Kit. 

Use these reports and graphics to celebrate your state during AmeriCorps Week.

Engagement Ideas

Share AmeriCorps' Impact. Through op-eds, letters to the editor, or other communications channels, you can highlight the impact of the work members do in your community.

Host an “honorary AmeriCorps  member”. Invite media, an elected official, a community leader, school principal, AmeriCorps alumnus, or other local dignitary to see AmeriCorps in action by becoming an “honorary AmeriCorps member” or by doing a site visit. In previous years, we've seen leaders from across the country participate in their local communities.

In the photo, former superintendent of Tulsa Public Schools, Keith Ballard, Ph.D., took the pledge to be a member for a day. Other examples include Rep. Elissa Slotkin serving at the Howell Nature Center and even middle school students switching places with AmeriCorps educators during AmeriCorps Week.

Spread the word about AmeriCorps. Share videos, photos, and stories on social media about AmeriCorps or your own experience throughout the week. Be sure to tag @AmeriCorps in your posts.

Declare AmeriCorps Week in a state or local proclamation. Help declare March 13-19 AmeriCorps Week in your community by securing AmeriCorps Week proclamations from your city or county council, state legislature, or governor. Samples are in our Social Press Kit.

Say thank you. Share why you are thankful for AmeriCorps. Create a 15-30 second video expressing your #AmeriThanks to those making a difference in your communities. If you are an AmeriCorps member or alumnus, share your story. 

Some prompts to get you started:

Please submit raw videos recorded on mobile phone or camera (we're not looking for produced videos with headers/captions, etc.) to socialmedia@cns.gov by Friday, March 4.
