AmeriCorps Hits 1 Million
|
On October 7 National Service reached an incredible milestone for our nation as it surpassed one million men and women who have joined AmeriCorps since it began.
Since AmeriCorps launched in 1994, over 15,000 Utahn's have dedicated themselves to public service through a range of projects from rebuilding communities to mentoring students.
As we celebrate this historic accomplishment, UServeUtah wants to thank AmeriCorps members for all they have done to meet pressing needs in communities across Utah and promote opportunity in our nation.
Thank You for Getting Things Done for America!
