Building community resiliency in response to COVID-19

Through our partnership with AmeriCorps, we enhance capacity and build sustainability within organizations working to address the wide-ranging impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic in high-poverty communities and increase community resiliency.

AmeriCorps members help save lives at the front lines of COVID-19

Up to 23 service members and two leaders will be placed within organizations and programs that help those who have been most impacted by the social and economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.
