The Corporation for National Service has officially confirmed the program will remain fully funded. We have reached the objective of this campaign and the threat of budget cuts is removed. I will keep monitoring the upcoming fiscal reports to ensure these commitments are honored.

Americorps *NCCC offers community service of at least 1700 hours PER MEMBER. Members work in the areas of Unmet Human Needs, Education, Environment, Disaster Relief & Firefighting. Not only does this silent community service program have roots in all aspects of volunteering, it is a major support system for Red Cross and Fema during natural disasters like Hurricane Katrina. Our country simply cannot afford to cut this program! Please, sign the petition today and show your government and David Eisner, CEO of the Corporation for National Service that this program is necessary and they must do everything they can to save it!

We need to hit the one hundred signature threshold to secure a formal meeting with the Corporation for National Service. Please send this link to your congressional representative today to ensure they are aware of our position before the upcoming budget discussions.

Ridiculous to cut funding for people actually doing the work on the ground during disasters. Who else is gonna help when things go south?
