What is AmeriCorps? It's a commitment to improve lives, strengthen communities, and foster civic engagement through service and volunteering. For the past 30 years, @AmeriCorps members, @AmeriCorpsSr volunteers, organizations, and more have addressed our nation's most pressing challenges while creating pathways to transform the lives of those served and those who serve.    #AmeriCorps30 #NationalService #Volunteerism

Q: How does CoSA help the community? A: "CoSA helps a core member realize their inherent value and the good that comes with reinvesting ourselves to community accountability. Core members care when communities don't systematically abandon them." - Fabian, CoSA Volunteer #CoSA #virtualCoSA #nomorevictims #nooneisdisposable #preventrecidivism #volunteer

Fellow canvassers unite!!! Reality: Helping people feel empowered to do what they want to do is the best way to lead a change. How does one do this? You talk to people. Start with your neighbors. Realize that they are a lot more like you then you think and you probably care about very similar outcomes. -Brave the heat. -Understand the power of relationships. -Meet your neighbors. -Know your local representatives and contact them. -Register to vote and vote. -Volunteer at something you enjoy. -Don’t take yourself so seriously. -Be the positive voice for people who feel helpless. https://lnkd.in/ggidzb4a #WinkleForMesa #MayorWinkle #WinkleForMayor #DoItForTheNeighborhood #commUNITY #listen #BePositive #MeetyourNeighbors #CommunityOrganizing #AnswerTheCall
