Why do businesses partner with AmeriCorps Alums?
AmeriCorps Alums has unique access to a network of over
500,000 incredible individuals who are making change happen in communities and in the public sector. We partner with businesses who can offer a service or resource that benefit our alumni and help them on their path of a lifetime of civic leadership.
AmeriCorps is on a new accelerated path to scale:
Resulting from new legislation passed in US Congress, AmeriCorps alumni will double their ranks at three times the pace of the past 15 years—reaching 1 million members by 2014 and 2 million by 2020.
AmeriCorps alumni are:
• Americans generally between ages of 18-35
• More racially diverse than the current US population
• 2/3 women, 1/3 men
• Americans who have served their country through national service (a full time AmeriCorps member serves 1700 hours in one year)
• Proven civic leaders who continue to tackle issues in their life after AmeriCorps
• Executive leaders of nonprofits, elected officials, educators
and change agents (studies show that 60% of alumni choose
careers in the nonprofit and government (public) sector).
