Thousands of Americans are calling for greater opportunity and meaningful change. Expanding @NationalService can provide opportunities for people of all backgrounds to serve their communities while earning money for college and vital skills for the future. #CORPSAct
Persistent inequities in access to food, education, and health care have only been exacerbated by COVID-19. The #CORPSAct will scale up our locally driven @NationalService programs to help uplift people and communities as we rebuild and recover.
