Corps all over the nation are celebrating 25 years of serving America under the National Community Service Trust Act. The history of the program leading up to the creation of AmeriCorps is rich and can be traced back 60 years to the Civilian Conservation Corps.
Present day AmeriCorps programs across the country are addressing issues in education, environment, social services, community development, and more. Members are working on-the-ground with local civic and community groups, as well as non-profits, to make a difference in their communities and, “Get Things Done.”
Celebrations are being held all around the country to commemorate this milestone. PMSC celebrated with AmeriCookies!
