30 years ago today, 20,000 Americans were sworn in as the first class of @AmeriCorps.
Since then, 1.3 million Americans have served to help address our nation’s most urgent needs and build a stronger America.

The best thing we can do for our nation is to commit to each other through national service, and there’s no better time to recommit than #AmeriCorpsWeek. I was on the Senate floor today to honor @AmeriCorps and Americans’ drive to improve our communities. youtube.com/watch?v=54886-i1…
Thank you @POTUS for your leadership and support of @AmeriCorps! The next generation of leaders is fired up and ready to serve. #AmeriCorps30
For 30 years, @AmeriCorps has provided over 1 million Americans a career pathway and the opportunity to serve.
They've taught millions how to read, rebuilt thousands of homes after disasters, and now play a critical role in my new American Climate Corps.
Happy 30th, AmeriCorps!

“If I could give you one thought, it would be to lift someone up. Lift a stranger up - lift her up. I would ask you, mother and father, brother and sister, lovers, mother and daughter, father and son, lift someone. The very idea of lifting someone up will lift you, as well.”

Today marks the 28th anniversary of the swearing in of the first @AmeriCorps class. They, like every class since, seek to bring us together & tackle the challenges we face—from education to housing to hunger—in order to make stronger communities in Delaware & across the country.
Folx, I just picked up @AbbyWambach's book #WOLFPACK, and it breathed some new life into me! 🔥 She flips the script and pushes us to #changetherules and #changethegame

Very glad to hear President Biden at #SOTU highlight the critical need for extra student support and calling for Americans to step up as tutors and mentors—roles that @AmeriCorps today facilitates in 12,000 schools across the country.

Instead of accepting toxic polarization as the new normal - community, faith, & civic leaders are leading the effort to foster dialogue, defuse conflict, & bridge differences. Today I introduced the Building Civic Bridges Act to bolster these valiant civic bridgebuilding efforts.

In today's @AmeriCorps town hall, @MsmithDC encouraged us all to join MLK Day of Service on Monday! Quoting MLK: "Everybody can be great because everybody can serve."
The @Voices4Service community is looking forward to working with you, Michael! #nationalserviceworks

To be a family, a country, doesn’t necessitate that we be the same or agree on everything, only that we continue to try to see the best in each other and move forward into a shared future. Whether we like it or not, we are in this together.

Congratulations, Michael!
As AmeriCorps members continue their remarkable work to help communities rebuild from this pandemic, I’m pleased to see him take the helm with bipartisan support in the Senate.
58-41, Senate confirmed the nomination of Michael D. Smith, of Virginia, to be Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation for National and Community Service. Rollcall Vote #488 bit.ly/SFloor
Congratulations, to @msmithDC and the entire @AmeriCorps community. Our @NDMVA team is ready to continue to #GetThingsDone under your leadership! #ndaserves
So honored to be confirmed by the Senate as CEO of @AmeriCorps, the federal agency for national service & volunteerism. I'm excited to tackle some of our nation’s most pressing challenges w/ the Biden-Harris administration and our AmeriCorps family! Let's get to work together!
