Make a Difference. Choose AmeriCorps.

Last month, AmeriCorps launched the "Choose AmeriCorps," public service announcement designed to build awareness of AmeriCorps and boost member and volunteer recruitment. Service allows Americans to turn their determination, compassion, and creativity into practical solutions for neighbors and strangers, alike. Whether they have recently graduated, have had a job or two, or have retired from a long career, anyone can serve with AmeriCorps or AmeriCorps Seniors. Share our public service announcement on your Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and LinkedIn channels.

AmeriCorps grantees and sponsors are invited to share the PSA with local media outlets, requesting that they run the PSA pro-bono. For questions on PSA media placements, email logos@cns.gov.
 
Make a difference. Choose your future. Choose AmeriCorps.
